HOW DO YOU WORK WITH NEW SCORES?

I always listen to the same piece many times. The first acquaintance takes place on an emotional level, then I dive deeper and deeper: I follow the score, pay attention to the nuances of the conductor's interpretation, translate the text of the libretto. This gives you a lot to understand the music piece. I am interested in conducting and would like to get an appropriate education in the future when I meet my 'go to' teacher.

WHICH COMPOSERS INFLUENCED YOU?

Last year I managed to play all of Mahler's symphonies (well, almost – except for the third and the second). I played the Symphony No. 8 under the conduction of Valery Polyansky as part of the orchestra of the State Symphony Capella in the Zaryadye Hall. There were 400 musicians on stage. I will never forget this experience. Moreover, spiritual music means a lot to me. In particular, Requiems: I like to listen and study Mozart, Verdi and Brahms's German Requiem.

WHAT DO YOU DO BESIDES MUSIC?

If I hadn't become a musician, I would have chosen big sport. I professionally played ping pong, I reached the second adult category. In addition, I really like studying architecture, I seriously thought about becoming an architect. I like to walk around cities and admire buildings. This year I visited Venice for the first time: the architecture of the city made an indelible impression on me. And I’m also keen on cooking, especially I like to cook various pastries. Perhaps exclusive recipes will appear soon.
