| I began my musical education at the age of six attending State Music School in Ekaterinburg (Russia) and completed my studies upon graduation from the Ural State Conservatory in 1984 with a Master Degree in Piano Performance, Piano Pedagogy, Opera Coaching, Accompaniments and Chamber Music Ensemble. I began my career as both an Associate Professor and Opera Studio Accompanist for the Ural State Conservatory. Many of my former students work for the best opera companies in Russia, Europe and America. In 1996 I relocated to St. Petersburg Russia to continue my carrier as Opera Accompanist for the famous St. Petersburg State Opera. Having a large repertoire at hand, I played numerous opera and orchestra performances in St. Petersburg and various Russian cities as well as abroad. As a concert accompanist for many opera singers, I participated at National and International vocal competitions. My American debut took place in May 2000 in Eastport, Maine. After moving to America in 2001 I began working with the Clermont Philharmonic Orchestra as a choral accompanist and orchestra pianist. I participate in various chamber concerts in the Greater Cincinnati Area and remain a concert accompanist for many great musicians in Russia. My next concert tour to Russia is scheduled for September 2011. |
