Choir Accompanist

National Opera of Ukraine • Parttime

Sep 2018 - Present • 8 yrs

As a Choir Accompanist at the National Opera of Ukraine, I work daily with massive operatic works. This role requires not only pianistic skill but a deep analytical understanding of musical texture. How this experience enhances my Engraving and Reduction services: Expertise in Piano Reductions: I know from practical experience how to adapt complex orchestration so that it sounds full yet remains truly playable and ergonomic for the pianist. Performer-Centric Approach: I understand the frustration of poorly formatted sheet music. That is why I pay critical attention to layout, convenient page turns, and logical spacing. Real-world Editorial Projects: Beyond performance, I provide professional score preparation services for the theater: Piano Reductions: I have authored custom reductions of specific opera scenes for production rehearsals. Orchestral Engraving: I executed the engraving of the complete string section parts for the production of A. Ponchielli's opera "I Lituani", providing the orchestra with error-free, publishing-quality materials. This background guarantees that any score I create for you will meet the highest standards of the professional stage.
