His appearances as soloist have included performances with Lvov Philharmonic, Lvov Chamber Orchestra, Centennial Philharmonic, Cape Ann Symphony, Knoxville Symphony, and Summer Music from Greensboro Festival Orchestra among others. Zino Bogachek has participated in the National Virtuosi Festival in Ukraine, the Haydn Festival in Austria; and Summer Music from Greensboro Festival, where he has served as concertmaster since 1995. A graduate of Lvov Conservatory, he continued his studies at the Vienna Academy of Music and Boston University.

His teachers have included M. Veitzner, Y. Mazurkevich, E. Lehner and B. Senofsky. Currently, he is a member of the Washington National Opera Orchestra.
Mr. Bogachek is known for his uncompromising individuality and wide-ranging musical interests. His love for salon, gypsy, and crossover classical music from the early 20th century grew from his boyhood fascination with the recordings of Georges Boulanger, Barnabas von Geczy, and Grigoras Dinicu. It was reinforced during his strolling violin days at Cafe Sankt Peterburg, where he collaborated with noted composer Yakov Yakulov. Professional encounters with Abram Shtern provided further insight and inspiration in his search for a unique performing style.
On this recording Zino Bogachek plays a Vittorio Villa violin (2003), and Benoit Rolland bow (2005) commissioned by the artist.
