Biography
Born in Ukraine, Bogdan Nesterenko is a graduate of the Kharkiv State Conservatory (Ukraine) in accordion, orchestral conducting, and chamber music, and is a laureate of several International Accordion Competitions.
Based in France since 2006, Bogdan Nesterenko performs extensively across Europe in both solo and chamber music recitals. He is frequently invited to perform at prestigious venues (Vichy Opera, Villa Strauli in Switzerland, Théâtre National du Beauvaisis, Ebersmunster Abbey, Lille Opera, Luxembourg Philharmonic…) and renowned festivals (Lille Piano Festival, Baroque Music Festivals of Strasbourg and Madiran, International Organ Festival in Flanders, Septembre Musical de l'Orne, Nuit Blanche in Paris...) throughout Europe, Ukraine, and Asia. His performances can be heard on France Musique, BBC Radio, and CultureBox.
Bogdan Nesterenko performs with violinist Stefan Stalanowski (Super-Soloist of the Orchestre National de Lille), the GoYa Quartet, and the Elysée Quartet, as well as with pianist Alain Raës and violinist Pablo Schatzman, the Camerata de Flandre, and the vocal ensemble Métamorphoses. He formed the Trio SVITA with Benjamin and Khrystyna Boursier (violins) and performs with Jan Vermeire (organ), Dorian Gheorghilas (pan flute), and soprano Olga Vojnovic.
In the field of contemporary music, he has participated in premieres by M. Bourbon, Ch. Hache, N. Debard, J. Dassié, and S. Fache, and premiered the 'Concerto de deux mondes' (Concerto of Two Worlds) for accordion and symphony orchestra by Omar Yagoubi.
He also performs regularly with soprano Juliette de Massy. Their recording of Bach arias, 'Comme un air de passions...' (ed. AR-RE-SE), received critical acclaim. In a duo with Marc Hervieux (recorders), he recorded the album 'Dialogue insolite' (Unusual Dialogue) for RAINBOW CLASSIC. The musician's latest solo album, 'Un Sacre du printemps' (A Rite of Spring), is dedicated to Ukrainian and Russian music.
Bogdan Nesterenko plays a 'Jupiter' brand 'bayan' accordion, an instrument that, thanks to its tonal richness and multiple registers, offers a vast range of musical possibilities.

Dialogues insolites
A program of 18th-century German sonatas presented in a unique and unprecedented instrumental pairing. Historically, the recorder and accordion have never shared a common history or repertoire. Yet today, they meet in a program that brings together both celebrated and rare gems of the Baroque era. This album was recorded in October 2016 at the Church of the Shield (Église du Bouclier) in Strasbourg.
2013 • Editions AR-RE-SE
Comme un air de passions...
Transcriptions of J.S. Bach's masterpieces for soprano and concert accordion. The album includes excerpts from the Passions and cantatas performed as a duo, as well as the Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) and the Prelude and Fugue in A minor (BWV 543) for solo accordion.
