About Me
When I was 7 years old, my school invited a musician who played us several wind-wood instruments. I was in awe of the classical clarinet music. It was right then that I decided to learn this instrument. With the help of my wonderful piano and wood-wind teachers, Nataliya Khrapina and Igor Elentukh, I am now comfortable with three instruments, and I feel fortunate to be able to play them all. I’ve performed in the largest concert halls in NYC such as Carnegie Hall, Baruch Performing Arts Center, and Lincoln Center. I have also performed for elders in senior-citizen adult-care centers, public libraries, and YMCA Centers, but I wanted to do more...

With the help of other young music enthusiasts, I organize charity concerts to pass down our love of music. I am currently a fundraiser for non-profit organizations and raise money for various important causes to accelerate research and to foster collaboration to prevent/cure Breast Cancer. I also give under-privileged kids free brief introductory lessons about classical music and playing an instrument as an "after-school" activity. We believe that music is what makes life beautiful and meaningful. Together, we can make a change!
