A Washington state native of Armenian and French descent, Yeva is nice years old and a 4th grade student at Sacred Heart School in the Greater Seattle area. She started playing the cello at age seven. Yeva is studying cello under Olga Ruvinov and is also a member of the Cascade Youth Symphony Orchestra in Washington. Her interest in cello was sparked when she saw Sol Gabetta perform with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Yeva received multiple awards and accolades at a variety of international competitions throughout 2025. She had the opportunity to perform solo at Carnegie Hall in May 2025.
Curious, bubbly and independent, Yeva loves math, robotics, creative writing and track and field. She sings in her school choir and often accompanies her older sister’s lyrical solos with her cello. An artist at heart, Yeva also danced in the Nutcracker with the renowned International Ballet Academy during the last Holiday Season. This is her second year entering national and international cello competitions, something she is very excited about.
