About Alona Liesniak

A Journey of Grace, Heart, and Global Artistry

Alona’s musical voyage began in her native Ukraine—embracing the violin at just six years old and cultivating a lifelong passion. Her talent led her to earning a Master’s in Music and performing with prestigious symphony orchestras and ensembles across Kiev, Europe, the U.S., and Asia.

Now based in Cave Creek, Arizona, Alona brings this international artistry to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations in the Phoenix valley and across Arizona.

A poignant chapter in her journey includes relocating due to the war in Ukraine, a transition that shaped her empathy and inspired her to bring healing through music.
