Alexandr Kislitsyn was born into a musical family with a long tradition in the arts. From a young age, his parents - both highly-trained and accomplished musicians - sought to encourage him to carry on in the family tradition, an endeavor mitigated by Alexandr's determination. Ungratified by kindergarten's monotony, he willfully launched his informal musical training by trailing his mother to her rehearsals with the Omsk Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. His formal training began shortly after that, and he went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Violin Performance from Novosibirsk State Conservatory and a Master's degree in Violin Performance from Temple University. He is currently in the Doctoral program at Temple University and plans to graduate in 2025.

​

Alexandr made his debut as a concert violinist with the symphony orchestra at the tender age of 6. Since then, he has gone on to concertize throughout Russia, Europe, Asia, and North and South America, teaching masterclasses, giving solo recitals, and performing with symphony orchestras as well as chamber ensembles in such notable venues as Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kimmel Center, Thailand Cultural Centre Hall, etc. Winner of numerous national and international competitions and recipient of multiple prestigious musical awards, his extensive repertoire includes significant works from solo and chamber literature.
