The son of Ukrainian composer Ivan Karabyts, Kirill Karabits was born in Kiev in 1976 and trained in Vienna and Stuttgart, where his teachers included Bach specialist Helmuth Rilling; he made his professional debut at the age of 19, with a programme of Stravinsky and Schoenberg, before spending two years assisting Iván Fischer at the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
