I welcome you to the Russian Chamber Music Foundation of Seattle. On February 23, 2008 at our inaugural concert we had an exciting evening of Russian chamber music with moments of lyricism, drama, happiness, and sadness, which created a broad spectrum of emotions for the listener. The program consisted of wonderful pieces by Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich, and will represent multiple genres: sonata, trio, and miniature pieces.

It has been a great privilege for me to work with a very high level Board of Artistic Advisors who have helped with their counsel and artistic ideas. I am grateful to all the people who have assisted me with this exciting project. It will be a beautiful journey through the gift of music for all of us!
