A short introduction
I graduated with highest distinction from Tashkent Conservatory (in the former Soviet Union) and received post-graduate degree from Moscow Conservatory with specialization in piano and chamber orchestra.
While in Moscow I concertized with members of the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and worked with leading Russian conductors such as Eugene Svetlanov and Dimitrii Kitaenko.
Subsequently, I taught the Piano and Chamber Ensemble at the Republican Music School for Gifted Children, affiliated with the Tashkent Conservatory. The student ensembles that I coached, participated and won in professional Chamber Music competitions
I have been residing in the United States since 1992. I have worked as a staff accompanist at the University of Akron and the Baldwin Wallace College in Cleveland. I also taught piano in Cleveland. Now I am teaching privately in the Silicon Valley.
