Semion Gurevich was born in 1990 in St. Petersburg and grew up in a musical family. He completed his studies in modern violin at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin under the guidance of Prof. Ulf Wallin. He then deepened his knowledge of Baroque violin at the Berlin University of the Arts in the class of Irmgard Huntgeburth and at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Prof. Leila Schayegh.

Gurevich has won numerous competitions, including the David Oistrakh Competition, the Shostakovich Competition, and most recently the Göttingen Handel Competition 2023 and the Biagio Marini Competition 2023 in Neuburg.

He has received significant artistic inspiration from Mstislav Rostropovich, Gidon Kremer, Zakhar Bron, Maxim Vengerov, Tabea Zimmermann, Rachel Podger, Amandine Beyer, and Mechthild Karkow, among others.

Semion is a welcome guest in ensembles such as the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Il Giardino Armonico, Gli Incogniti, and Lautten Compagney. He also led the Synergy Chamber Orchestra in St. Petersburg.
