Dmitry Sitkovetsky (born September 27, 1954) is a Soviet-Russian born classical violinist and conductor. Dmitry Sitkovetsky was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, to violinist Julian Sitkovetsky and pianist Bella Davidovich. His father died in 1958, when Sitkovetsky was just three years old and the family moved to Moscow where Dmitry entered the prestigious Moscow Conservatory. In 1977, aged twenty-two, he decided to leave the Soviet Union. In order to do this, he registered himself as mentally ill. Fortunately his plan worked and Dmitry arrived in New York City on September 11, 1977, where he immediately began studying at the Juilliard School.
