Music isn't enough. Performers aren't enough. There must be someone who loves music as much as life.

About Me



~Hi everyone! My name is Elena. I came from Russia 7 years ago. I am a pianist and married to my instrument. I have a passion for the music of J.S. Bach, Olivier Messiaen, and the Russian composers like Stravinsky and Prokofiev. I also love good contemporary music (Ligeti, Crumb, Gubaidulina...). I am interested in art, modern art expecially. Writers: russian absurdist Daniel Charms, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Solzhenicin. I am a believer in Yeshua (Jesus) and my faith to me is not a religion, it's a relationship. Right now I am a senior in college and plan to further my career in performing and teaching. I love meeting new people, especially other musicians and artists.
