Past
Events
It is extremely important for me to hold events, talking about music in Russian. I devoted 20 years of my life to music, writing about music and hosting programs on the radio. Now in London, with my lectures, I open up a new world to those listeners who want not only to listen to music, but also to learn more about musical culture
