Alexey Poltavchenko
Alexey is a distinguished cellist and the dynamic CEO of Chicago Live Music, a company dedicated to
popularizing the rich musical traditions of Chicago and beyond. Born in the culturally vibrant city of
Odessa, Ukraine, Alexey’s early immersion in music was shaped by the city’s strong musical heritage
and its picturesque location on the Black Sea.
He pursued his passion for cello performance with rigorous studies, first in Odessa and later at Roosevelt
University in Chicago. This educational foundation allowed him to hone his craft, becoming proficient in a
diverse range of musical genres. Alexey is celebrated not only as a mainstream classical musician but
also for his versatility in playing music from various nationalities and cultures.
Before establishing Chicago Live Music, Alexey traveled the world as a performer on cruise ships,
gaining invaluable experience and exposure to a myriad of musical styles. This global perspective
enriches his performances and informs his leadership of the company.
In Chicago, Alexey enjoys an active musical life, performing at weddings and other special events. His
leadership at Chicago Live Music ensures a seamless experience for clients, handling all administrative
details so that his team of professional, highly trained musicians can focus on delivering exceptional
