My name is Vadim Timinsky and I’m an internationally award-winning classical guitarist. I’ve spent many years learning, teaching and playing the guitar for a number of people in a variety of venues as both a soloist and as part of a group.

I began my music career at age six studying the piano. A few years later I changed instruments to the guitar under the mentorship of private instructors. Initially I played various guitar styles, including rock and pop but found my true love to be classical music.

I continued my instruction at the Tallinn Georg Ots Music College with noted Estonian guitarist, Tiit Peterson. Shortly thereafter I had my first experience as a performer, on stage, in the studio and on TV.

After studying in my native Estonia, I attended the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music and Dance, under Professor Joseph Urshalmi, where I received a BA in Music.

I furthered my education with master classes given by esteemed instructors: Aniello Desiderio (Italy), Costas Cotsiolis (Greece), Thomas Muller-Pering (Germany), Zoran Ducic (Chorvatia), Haim Asulin (Israel), Tiimo Korhonen (Finland), Lilly Afshar (USA), and Bill Kanengiser (USA)

In 2005, I completed my Master of Music in Classical Guitar Performance at SMU under Professor Robert Guthrie.

Performing as a soloist and chamber musician in various guitar festivals in Estonia, Finland, Israel, Greece and Germany, I now frequently perform in the Metroplex at various venues including Dallas colleges, the Meadows School of the Arts, libraries, museums, churches, weddings, private parties and corporate events. I also continue to perform, collaborate and record music with one of the premier violinists and entertainers in the U.S., Valeri Glava.
