Alena Baeva is considered one of the most exciting, versatile, and alluring soloists active on the world stage today. Highlights of the recent seasons include debuts with the Alte Oper Frankfurt, Ensemble Resonanz, Göteborgs Symfoniker, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lyon, and the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, as well as returns to such leading ensembles as the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Gävle Symfoniorkester, Orchestre National de Lille, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Tonkünstler-Orchester.

She now enjoys a particularly strong artistic partnership with Paavo Järvi, with whom recent and future collaborations include performances with the Estonian Festival Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. Baeva also enjoys regular work with such world-renowned conductors as Teodor Currentzis, Charles Dutoit, Marek Janowski, and Tomáš Netopil.
Baeva holds an already vast and rapidly expanding repertoire, including over 40 violin concerti, and is a champion of lesser known works – with recent performances promoting such composers as Bacewicz, Karaev, and Karłowicz.

Born in Kazakhstan in 1985, Baeva studied in Moscow, France, Switzerland and Israel. Aged 16, Baeva won the Grand Prix at the 12th International Henryk Wieniawski Competition (2001), and the Grand Prix at the Moscow International Niccolò Paganini Competition (2004).
