Your work in the field of music has earned the respect and affection of many admirers of the art of singing and classical choral music. Through your work with sacred compositions by Russian composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, audiences in many cities across Russia, the CIS and other countries have had the opportunity to experience masterpieces of sacred music. It is especially gratifying that you continue your creative work today and take part in a wide range of musical projects.
As choirmaster of the Kazakhstan Metropolitan District Choir, you bear witness to the beauty and grandeur of Russian musical culture in Central Asia, contributing to cultural dialogue and strengthening spiritual ties between Russia and Kazakhstan.
I wish you good health, inspiration and all the very best!
