Eleonora Ryndina is a passionate violinist, active solo and chamber performer, guided by the same devotion to artistic expression as to teaching. A permanent member of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande since 2010, she co-founded the Barton Ensemble in 2015 and has since served as a vibrant ambassador of Swiss musical culture abroad, notably at the Cervantino Festival in Mexico.

Her journey has taken her across Canada, Mexico, France, Italy, Russia, and Switzerland, as both soloist and chamber musician, with acclaimed performances featured in international broadcasts. Trained under eminent masters such as Valentina Korolkova, Asia Kushnir, Pierre Amoyal, Eleonora Turovsky, Alberto Lysy, and Mihaela Martin, she pursued her studies at distinguished institutions including the Gnessin Academy, the Tchaikovsky Conservatory, the Haute École de Musique of Lausanne and Geneva, the University of Montreal, and the Menuhin Academy.

Teaching occupies an important place in her artistic life. She mentors young musicians—particularly through the Diploma of Advanced Studies program of the OSR—and several of her students have since joined professional orchestras.

Born in Moscow and raised between Russia and Mexico, Eleonora grew up in a family of professional violinists. A polyglot fluent in five languages, she also nurtures a deep love for the visual arts and for cross-disciplinary projects combining music, dance, poetry, and painting.
