Close-Up:
- I am very fortunate to be a musician. It’s the only job I ever wanted. Music allows you to see the world and meet new marvel low and interesting people. Even better: It allows you to devote your life to something you love, and this is rare in today’s world.
- I’ve always been inspired by art. I love to travel and tour with different orchestras. Today, my son is my greatest source of inspiration.
- When I was 20, I started to work in the National Opera and Ballet Theater of Kiev. I fell in love with opera and ballet and decided to devote my life to these art forms.
- My mother is one of the people who has most influenced me as a musician. She is a pianist, and always hoped we would play together. That’s why I am a violinist.
- When I have a day off of work, I love to take a drive out of the city with my family and hike in the woods or the mountains.
