Biography

I am a violinist with the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra, Houston Ballet Orchestra, Mercury Chamber Ensemble, and other music organizations in Houston, Texas. I performed with the renown ensemble Virtuosi of Moscow under the director and conductor Vladimir Spivakov. As a chamber musician, I performed with the principals of the Wiener Philharmoniker and as a member of the Kopelman Quartet. As an orchestral musician, I have performed with the Chicago Symphony, the National Symphony, and the Houston Symphony.

I was born in Moscow, Russia into a family of musicians who gave me the opportunity to play music very early in my life. I studied in Russia, Spain, France, and the U.S.  I have received a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and a Masters of Music in Violin Performance from the Moors School of Music, University of Houston.
