Artist History I've been improvising ever since a little kid, and first wrote something down when I was about seven or eight. Since then, I've written a lot of music in many different styles, and continue to explore myself, my performer friends, and the possibilities of writing exciting music in the 21st century.

Group Members Some of the people who've championed my music: Jeremie Michael, The Manhattan Virtuosi, Denis Segond, Sybille Werner, the New York Symphonic Arts Ensemble, The Quinten String Quartet, The Empyreal String Quartet, Mark Peskanov, Joan Kwuon, Daniel Panner, Nina Svetlanova, the Wild Ginger Philharmonic, Elizabeth Morgan, Ariel DeWolf, Yi-Heng Yang, Jesse Mills, among many others. Thank you!

Press Reviews From a review on Listen.com: "Russian-born, N.Y.-based prodigy able to move deftly between a range of classical idioms and eras. From charming, consonant chamber pieces to atonal string works, with side trips into avant-garde percussion and cartoonish electronics, this is consistently impressive stuff."
