At a tender age of six, Alexei Kurbatov composed a ballet, and at 11, gave his first concert as a composer in the Organ Hall of the Glinka Musical Culture Museum. As of today, the portfolio of this young composer, pianist, and graduate of the Moscow Conservatory boasts six symphonies, Black Monk opera, seven instrumental concerts, a dozen symphonic poems, multitudes of chamber and vocal pieces, and music scores for film and theater. As a pianist, Alexei Kurbatov has collaborated with Yuri Bashmet’s orchestra and the Greek composer Vangelis.
