Moreover, I feel so lucky to know such talented people who helped me with this song: Oleg Bezuglov - lyrics, Alex Fedirko - arrangement, Victoria Cherentsova - vocal. Hope we can create more of these interesting compositions as a team in the near future!

“Fantasia” for violin and piano is one of my newest pieces that was finished a week ago. It is a work commissioned by the United Methodist Church in Lansing, MI. The main idea of this composition is to spread sacred music around the world and to be heard by larger and diverse audience.

I love these moments when I see sparkles in my students' eyes!
