I am a professional piano accompanist and soloist with nearly thirty years' experience, and have performed at such venues as the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester and St. George's Hall, Liverpool. I have worked with a variety of solo singers, choirs and instrumentalists, and am equally at home in many genres of music. This experience has made me an excellent sight-reader. As a fluent Russian speaker, I have a particular interest in the Russian song repertoire. As a soloist, I prefer to perform romantic and early twentieth century music.
