Joining the CIM faculty in 2018-2019, Ilya Kaler is considered to be one of the most outstanding personalities of the violin today. He is the only violinist to win the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (1986), the Sibelius Competition in Helsinki (1985), and the Paganini Competition in Genoa (1981). He has been described as a "magician, bewitching our ears" by Gramophone for his hauntingly beautiful sound, flawless command of the instrument and mesmerizing phrasing. Not only does his career range from that of a soloist, a recording artist to chamber musician, he is one of the most sought-after teachers in the world.
Praised by critics for her “deep, soulful sound” and “powerful, enchanting renditions,” Olga Dubossarskaya Kaler has toured three continents as a soloist, chamber musician and artist-teacher, balancing her performing and teaching careers with equal success. She joined the violin faculty of the Cleveland Institute of Music in 2017, following her 15-year tenure at DePaul University School of Music in Chicago.
