My Debut

This is the Great Hall of the Leningrad Philharmonic, where I debuted as a composer, with my piece: First Symphony.

Young Dmitri

 Here's a picture of me from my younger years.

Second Waltz

My Second Waltz, performed by Andre Rieu, a famous Dutch violinist/conductor. A fun upbeat waltz I composed, to get away from the intense serious music.

The Nose

A video of me, during a rehearsal of my opera, titled "The Nose", which I wrote based off of the book, "The Nose", by Nikolai Gogol. The opera is about a St. Petersburg officail, whose nose leaves his face and develops it's own life. A silly story when you think of it!
