In a career that’s led from the former USSR to stages in Israel, Canada, and the United States, Dr. Pavlovsky has become a popular guest conductor for a diverse array of orchestras and ensembles, as well as a beloved artistic director for university, community, and professional ensembles in her home state of South Carolina and beyond.
Maestra Pavlovsky is the founder, artistic and music director of Columbia, South Carolina’s Palmetto Chamber Orchestra, which combines professional players/educators with talented community members to great acclaim. Her Ensemble Eclectica, a professional group that combines live music with dance, visual art and media to create interdisciplinary magic, has earned kudos both regionally and nationally. With blockbuster programming and nationally-renowned guest artists, both Ensemble Eclectica and the Palmetto Chamber Orchestra have grown into innovative, collaborative institutions offering a full season of classical music to a wide audience in the Carolinas and beyond.
Maestra Pavlovsky’s conducting repertoire includes symphonic staples, pops, educational programs, contemporary compositions, and chamber music for various ensembles. Her professional skills include relationship-building and collaboration as well as coaching and education.
Dr. Pavlovsky is former Associate Conductor in Residence of the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra in Toronto, Canada and Associate Conductor of the Lake Murray Symphony Orchestra in Columbia, SC. An Assistant Conductor at Michigan State University, she was also a graduate assistant at the Eastman School of Music, as well as a conducting and teaching assistant at the University of South Carolina. Her recent guest conducting engagements include but not limited to appearing with New Mexico Philharmonic and with International Center for Music Orchestra (ICM) at the Park University, Missouri.
Academically, Dr. Pavlovsky has a special interest in the harmonic system of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, and she has transcribed Scriabin’s piano cycle Trois Morceaux, Opus 52, for string orchestra. In the classroom, she has taught Conducting, Music Theory, Aural Skills, Piano & Improvisation, and Music Appreciation.
Praised for his “dazzling performance” by the New York Times and “scintillating playing” by New York Classical Review, violinist Ari Streisfeld has quickly established himself as a leader in contemporary classical music. A founding member of the internationally acclaimed JACK Quartet, Ari has performed in the world’s leading concert halls and festivals. He has collaborated with many of today’s most prominent composers including John Luther Adams, Caroline Shaw, Julia Wolfe, and has recorded for Mode, Albany, Carrier, Innova, Cantaloupe, New Focus, and New World Records.
Together with his wife, mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway, Ari formed Duo Cortona, a contemporary music ensemble dedicated to the creation of new works for the unique instrumentation of mezzo-soprano and violin. He is also a member of Shir Ami, an ensemble dedicated to the performance and preservation of Jewish art music.
A passionate and committed music educator, Ari is currently Associate Professor of Violin and Violin Pedagogy at the University of South Carolina School of Music, Music Director for Point CounterPoint (Vermont), and Artistic Director for the Cortona Sessions for New Music (Netherlands).
