I was born in Russia and trained in composition and conducting at the Conservatories of Saint-Petersburg, Lyon, and Paris. I now live in France and work as a composer, orchestrator, and conductor, with a career that spans theatre and cinema. I am drawn to theatrical and cinematic music, collaborating with figures such as Michel Legrand, Vladimir Cosma, Lev Dodine, Pierre Strosser, and Alix Delaporte. I regularly work with Evgueni and Sacha Galperine as orchestrator and conductor on projects for EuropaCorp, HBO, Marvel, and others, and I have authored numerous soundtracks for feature and short films for exclusive licensing companies.
