Oleg is an extremely experienced violinist who can perform all kinds of musical styles for all kinds of events.
He's been performing for nearly 20 years, regularly playing at weddings, church services, corporate events, parties etc. Oleg can play in a variety of styles and has exceptional sight-reading skills; he can also prepare his own arrangements of specific songs if requested in advance.
Originally from Moscow, Russia, Oleg has performed as a soloist, in chamber music ensembles and in orchestras all over Europe, Eastern Asia and the United States.
Trained in Moscow and in the United States, Oleg possesses the flawless technique and the beautiful sound typical of the Russian school.
Oleg is very talented. His performance was magical.
Oleg arrived on time and was a hit when our guests arrived.
He played some wonderful pieces and we all enjoyed his contribution to this beautiful day.
Our son and daughter-in-law were touched as this was a surprise for them.
Thank you Oleg and GigSalad for the service and continuous follow up to ensure that everything was done properly.
We highly recommend this service .
Highly recommend, so professional.
Oleg added to our memorable event and was very pleasant to work with.
Right on time, gave a performance of a lifetime. People were thrilled. We’re very satisfied. Will definitely request his service for future events.
An absolute professional start to finish. Oleg played a fantastic hour of music for my surprise engagement and incorporated my (now fiancée) and I’s special song to queue the engagement. I couldn’t have asked for a better performance to frame the romantic occasion.
Oleg performed at our event yesterday and we couldn’t have been more pleased. He played beautifully, was flexible with our plans and easy to work with. He was exactly what we had hoped for.
Flexible, on time, and lovely from beginning to end!

“[Oleg Larshin] took center stage in the orchestra’s season opener Saturday night, delivering an impressive, if self-effacing, performance of Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1. [...] Larshin played the opening theme of this well-known concerto with breadth and confidence before moving easily into the intricate and technically challenging trills and passagework of the second theme, all while maintaining striking musicality.” (Wayne Lee Gay, Texas Classical Review).
Praised for his technical control and depth of sound, Oleg Larshin has performed extensively as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles in Russia and the United States. Some of his most recent solo appearances include performing with the Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra, the TCU Symphony Orchestra and the Meadows Percussion Ensemble. He has also performed as a soloist with the Michigan State University Orchestra, the Moscow Special Central Pre-Conservatory Music School Orchestra and the Moscow State Orchestra, collaborating with conductors such as Mark Gorenstein, Beau Benson, Alexander Yakupov, Jon Lee, Robert Austin, German Gutierrez.
Oleg has also worked with major orchestras, such as the Big Symphony Orchestra named by “P. I. Tchaikovsky,” with whom he toured Europe and Asia, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Chamber Orchestra and Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. He is currently a member of the Dallas Opera Orchestra.
Oleg started his musical studies at the age of 7 with professor Zoya Mahtina. He then continued his studies with Eduard Gratch (Moscow Conservatory), Dmitry Berlinsky (Michigan State University), Emanuel Borok (Southern Methodist University) and Elizabeth Adkins (Texan Christian University).
Oleg is currently based in Montréal, QC.
