So the story didn't finish yet.. I have some friends from Kharkov who know him better than I do.
I basicly remember his incredible energy when giving Koltakov and the orchestra instructions during Van Cliburn Competition.
Anyway, all the best for your career!

It looks very bright-- I'm a big fan of the colour white! I see that you have a "livesite" watermark in the corner; it stands out on all that white. It's best to switch to something else.

I haven't used livesite because I code my own work, but there are other quick, easy, free, and more flexible platforms out there that don't use your site to advertise themselves! (I recommend WordPress-- it's free and easy. Hosts like Yebowi will set it up for free and help you install anything you want. I recommend this host because they're reliable and worth your money with a low price!)

Your photos give a personal touch. Good luck! :)
