I am a very experienced accompanist of 20 years. I hold a DMA degree from Stony Brook University, as well as MM from the Juilliard School, and a BM and MM equivalent from Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. I have a vast experience accompanying both instrumentalists and singers, as well as vocal coaching, both professional and amateur. I have been a rehearsal accompanist and performance accompanist for many opera projects. I have a large experience with playing with different orchestras as well. I have also been a choir accompanist at various churches since 2010. I possess excellent sight reading skills, as well as an ability to follow the part of the soloist I work with , very closely and cover up their mistakes if needed. My priority as an accompanist is always to support and enhance the soloist’s performance. I am always open to suggestions and wishes of the soloist as well, and have been praised a number of times as very easy to work with. I play pretty much any keyboard instrument, as I have multiple degrees in both early keyboard instruments, and piano, as well as many years of organ playing in addition to them.
