 solo recital in Kharkiv Philharmonic Hall at the age of 11. Later he 
 graduated from Moscow Tchaikovsky conservatory before moving to the United 
 States in 2008. Most of his family still resides in Kharkiv. In recent 
 years, Stanislav started projects in his hometown by co-founding one of the 
 major classical music festivals in Ukraine, KharkivMusicFest, as well as 
 founding Nova Sinfonietta Chamber Orchestra. In just 4 years of existence, 
 KharkivMusicFest presented performances of the world’s top musicians as 
 well as unique projects including outreach concerts, painted pianos on 
 streets, Festival Orchestra, a classical music forum, Children’s 
 Orchestra, among others. 2020 KharkivMusicFest had to be canceled due to 
 the pandemic and most of its program was presented in the Spring of 2021. 
 This year's KharkivMusicFest was planned for the end of March. Its 
 large-scale program had to be replaced with one concert in the subway 
 shelter by only five musicians that stayed in the city. This year 
 KharkivMusicFest was featured by Washington Post, ABC News, among others.
