The Phoenix String Quartet is considered one of the leading chamber music ensembles in Ukraine. Founded in Lviv in 2006, the musicians have distinguished themselves not only as brilliant soloists but, above all, as a perfectly coordinated ensemble that captivates audiences with its passion and expressiveness. Their concert activities regularly take them to renowned festivals in Europe, where they are celebrated for their compelling interpretations.

The quartet is known for its virtuosity, deep emotionality, and exceptional ensemble harmony. Since its official founding in 2008, it has performed on prestigious stages in Europe, Asia, and America, earning the recognition of both audiences and critics.

The members of the ensemble are:
• Mykola Havjuk – Violin
• Petro Tytiajev – Violin
• Anna Bura – Viola
• Denys Lytvynenko – Cello

In 2023, the quartet was awarded the Ljudkewytsch Prize for its contribution to the promotion of Ukrainian music. Together with the pianist Violina Petrychenko, the musicians present the program Ukrainian Quintet, which has already been heard in the philharmonies of Chernivtsi, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, and other cities.

The quartet was also the first to perform the piano quintets of Vasyl Barvinskyj and Borys Lyatoshynskyj in Belgium and Germany. The musicians are currently working on recording an album of these unique works and continuing their mission to bring the diversity of Ukrainian chamber music closer to the world.
