About
Biography
One of the most prominent cellists of his generation in the Baltic States, Gleb Pyšniak has graced the stages of the Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna Musikverein, and the Chicago Cultural Centre.
Born in Vilnius, Gleb made his debut at just 14 with the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra. A student of the legendary Natalia Gutman and Johannes Meissl, he earned his MA cum laude from the Vienna Conservatory. His artistry has been shaped by masterclasses with giants such as Yo-Yo Ma and Mstislav Rostropovich.
As a soloist, he has performed with the Lithuanian National Symphony, Sinfonietta Riga, and the Porto Symphony Orchestra. His competitive success includes first prizes at the Antonio Janigro (Croatia) and Karl Davydov competitions, alongside being named a "New Master on Tour" at the International Holland Music Sessions.
Beyond the stage, Gleb is a dedicated educator at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Alongside his wife, violinist Dalia Dėdinskaitė, he serves as the artistic director for several major festivals, including the Kintai Music Festival and "Christmas in Vilnius."
His contributions to culture have been recognized twice by the Presidents of the Republic of Lithuania, receiving prestigious awards from both Valdas Adamkus and Gitanas Nausėda.
