About
Composer, orchestrator, and author of musical performances
Founder of Pop Opera — a chamber musical theatre in Saint Petersburg
Today I live and work in Paris. I collaborate with orchestras, ensembles, theatres, and simply with anyone who needs music. Not necessarily for large stages — sometimes a sincere idea is enough to begin.

Premiered on October 29, 2021
All Because of Jam!
A musical story about friendship, kindness, and little miracles. Three sisters, some missing jam, and two mischievous ghosts — all for the softest cake in the world!
An intimate lyrical piece about the meeting of two lovers separated by war, reunited unexpectedly at its very last hour. No slogans, no pathos — just human beings, their pain, their tenderness, and the hope of morning.
A chamber mono-ballet inspired by the poem by Sergei Yesenin. A performance about inner conflict, the struggle against dark forces, and the acceptance of one’s shadow. One performer, one path to self-knowledge through confrontation with oneself.
A ballet based on the play by Gerhart Hauptmann about a man who finally dares to live — too late, according to others. Light, movement, and everyday objects tell the story without a single word.
Arrangement and orchestration give music a new brilliance! Arrangement reinterprets a song by playing with chords, rhythm, or style — from rock to jazz. It shapes the overall mood for a group or choir.
Orchestration distributes every note among the instruments: violins for the melody, trombones for the bass lines. The arranger sketches the idea, the orchestrator polishes every detail. Together, they bring both pop hits and symphonies to life!
The composer asked to transform a piano piece into an orchestral number for inclusion in a suite. This task required a complete revision of the tonal plan, followed by full orchestration.
(First video — the original version with the composer's comments, second video — the orchestration created by me.)
The audio in the examples comes from the Sibelius Ultimate orchestral library.
Orchestration of the piece "Ballad"
This piece already had a well-developed tonal plan, so I focused exclusively on the orchestration.
(First video — orchestration with "computer" sound, second video — orchestral performance.)
