Born in Kyiv and educated at the Odessa Conservatory, Kagansky refined his craft in the early 1980s through apprenticeships in Rome and Cremona, as well as a tenure at Jacques Français Rare Violins in New York. Throughout his career, he has made over 100 violins and violas—along with several cellos—which are now played in major orchestras across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
His work is notably championed by concertmasters such as Glenn Dicterow of the New York Philharmonic and Alexander Barantschik of the San Francisco Symphony.
