Reflections upon one's place in the Universe

Here we are, almost in December. That will be my last month of teaching the violin-making at Daikanyama Ongakuin. The time passed fast! In fact, you don't notice the time when it's fun, and it almost stops when it's boring... Yeah, yeah, you know!

So, 2007-2009 was incredibly fast (thanks to you!) I will miss you guys, also your other teachers and the whole team at the office.

To be honest to the end, I must confess I kept only one secret from you: you were my most talented students and I wish you luck. Don't forget about the God and Nature as seen by the great masters of the past. Keep these in mind, at least, while making your violins and you will be fine, I guess...

What else? Yeah... once again (so sorry!): study languages, study languages, study languages... It will help, though... violin is such a
weird thing: the more you study it, the less you know it. Be warned :)

Anyway, by the end of December I will no longer be your sensei (;_;) Thanks for all and GOOD LUCK!

Sigiswald Kuijken - Suite nr 1 BWV 1007 courante

Sigiswald Kuijken plays violoncello da spalla on YouTube

Sigiswald Kuijken, to whom I am entirely indebted for finding my true vocation in both music and violin-making and whose example inspired me to apply the principles of HIPP to the violin-making, plays Bach on one of the violoncellos piccolo (da spalla) I built for him upon his request.

Baroque violin workshop in November has been cancelled

Despite of all efforts to keep it up, my monthly baroque music workshop in November (24th) has been canceled due to the overloaded schedule. The workshops in the 1st half of 2010 aren't likely to take place until I return from the multiple trips in Europe and Mexico in the end of May. Check the workshop's page on my music website for the updates.

The Historically Informed Violin-Making Course is due to start in June 2010. However, reservation fees for the course can be accepted from the last days of December-January 2010.
Brochure and PR in preparation, a mini-flier can be downloaded here.

Luthier Dmitry Badiarov - profile
I was born in Russia in 1969. I lived 25 years years in St. Petersburg and 12 years in Belgium. Now I am living in Tokyo. I started carving the wood at the age of 5 and playing the violin at the age of 8. At the age of 11 I started violin-making. I graduated from St. Petersburg State Conservatoire (modern violin) and Brussels Royal Conservatoire (baroque violin). The first violin I made got a diploma at the National Violin-Making Competition in Moscow in 1990. After that I decided to take a different route and study the Baroque period and the history of the violin instead of participating in competitions. I made instruments for Sigiswald Kuijken, Francois Fernandez, Ryo Terakado and many other outstanding soloists. Baroque violinists residing in and near Belgium, members of the leading orchestras such as the orchestra of Collegium Vocale, Anima Eterna, Il Fondamento, La Petite Bande, Ricercar Consort etc, and violin-players from across Europe visited my studio in Brussels daily. Incidentally, Belgian government recognized my feeble efforts as culturally important and granted me with the Belgian citizenship. I reconstructed violoncellos da spalla and a set of early baroque Germanic violins for La Petite Bande and currently working on several other violin-making projects. I have been teaching at various institutions in Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Mexico and Japan, including the National University of Fine Arts and Music and Daikanyama Academy of Music in Tokyo.

Baroque je t'aime Club in Tokyo - 2010

The Club was created early in 2009. It held monthly lectures-concerts since February 2009.
The project had lots of success thanks to the brilliant performers, the passion of the audience and the cozy, informal ambiance of the venue - the Culture International Club in central Tokyo.
Website of the venue is below, though, due to the lack of time the page for Baroque je t'aime Club has never been created yet. Baroque je t'aime Club in Tokyo.
