As a winner of more than 20 violin competitions - including First Prizes at Leonid Kogan, Leopold Auer, and Grand Prix at the Postacchini International Violin Competitions, Matvey enjoys an impeccable reputation among music lovers all over Russia and abroad.

 

His tours regularly take him to the best concert venues of Russia, including Tchaikovsky State Conservatory, Moscow Philharmonic Hall, and St.Petersburg Glinka Hall. On many occasions, his concerts have been broadcasted by the Russian First Television Channel.

 

As a soloist Matvey has been regularly invited to perform together with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow, the Crimean Philharmonic, the Sevastopol Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra KREMLIN, and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, and has been invited to perform with the David Oistrakh Quartet on several occasions.
