His collaborations with an illustrious roster of conductors, including Osmo Vänskä, Fabio Luisi, Marin Alsop, Nikolaj Znaider, and Vasily Petrenko, have further cemented his reputation as one of today’s most distinguished violinists.

A multifaceted artist, Krylov also serves as Music Director of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, where he frequently performs both as soloist and conductor in repertoire ranging from Baroque masterpieces to contemporary works.
