Maksim Diagilew

Hello dear colleagues, musicians and friends of music! So, I try to be laconic. I was born in January 1977 in small republic of Belarus (Weißrussland) in a family with old artistic traditions. At the age of 8 I started to play piano, later classic drums. Then, 15 years old, I decided to study saxophon. My studies: 1992- 1996 saxophon at the "Glinka" music institut in Minsk. 1996- 2001 academic studies at Conservatorium in Minsk with diploma for Classics and Modern Music (solist, ensemble, music teacher). 2002- 05 course of studies at Music High School in Dortmund and later at Folkwang Music School in Essen (Germany) with Artist Diploma. 2006-07 lessons by Prof. Hugo Read (postgraduate studies) Modern Music and Jazz improvisation. I willingly play all kinds of saxes, clarinet, piano, some percussions and do my best with a great respect to music. My style of playing is a mix of all I heard and found nice. That was Classics, Modern music, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Reggae, Folk& World music and everything, that sounded musical to me. My current bands are: "Diagilew Project"; "Transorient Orchestra" and some other projects. I also work as a music teacher and studio musician, but the best thing in life for me is to make music live on stage;-) My dear, keep grooving and stay free!!!
