Pioneer in the discovery, promotion, interpretation, and authentic performance of the repertoire for the 19th- and 20th-century Russian seven-string guitar.

Oleg Timofeyev is a renowned recording artist, ensemble director, and festival organizer, best known for his leading role in the revival of the Russian seven-string guitar tradition. He was born to a Moscow family with a long-standing musical tradition. His mother Natalia Timofeyeva (neƩ Schneider) is a well-known cellist and composer, who graduated from the Moscow Conservatoire, where she studied with Aleksandr Shirinsky and Mstislav Rostropovich. His grandmother, Amalia Weksler (1903-1994), was an excellent pianist, and spent many hours with young Oleg, teaching him the principles of truly Romantic musical performance of the early 1900s.
