This beautiful 900-page book about the composer Andrey Volkonsky went to print today and I am looking forward to holding it in my hands this spring! Thank you and bravo to my amazing co-writers and co-editors Igor Blazhkov, Alexei Lubimov, and Irina Mikaelian!

It was extremely emotional to see a packed Royal Festival House applauding to my speech against the war in Ukraine and standing to the Ukrainian National Anthem. Stunned and excited by the support for Ukraine from London Philharmonic Orchestra, colleagues, and friends. facebook.com/10000151250007…
