ABOUT US
Irina Pak
Co-Founder, Director
Irina was born to Korean parents in Novosibirsk, Siberia. She started playing the violin at the age of 5 and was recognized as an exceptional talent at a young age. At 20 she moved to Switzerland to further develop her career . As a result, she won competitions at national and international level and performed as a soloist in renowned concert halls such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Musikverein. Today Irina is a member of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich. In addition to her teaching activities, she also gives master classes and is also a member of the council and artistic advisor of the Petersburg Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting young Russian musical talent.
My great passion is making music and interacting with the audience. It gives me the opportunity to express myself in the language I know best: music. Versatility and innovation are key to my self-image, and it inspires me to explore new creative possibilities on larger platforms. At the same time, I am very open to cross-style concepts and rare repertoire. I think that More than Classic can open new horizons, new ways of understanding the world and life through the language of music - and it will bring new emotional experiences
