Although violin performance and education has been
Sergei life long pursuit, his passion has always been
in the creative process of composing such works as
the music score for Hungry the Musical. Born and
raised in St. Petersburg Russia, he immigrated to
the United States at the age of 12. Since then,
Sergei has been an active participant in the
Philadelphia Arts Community. He served as the
concertmaster of the renowned Philadelphia Youth
Orchestra for three seasons, and earned a BA in
violin performance from Temple University. Sergei is
working on completing a song cycle on Joseph
Brodsky’s poems, and publishing educational music
materials in the very near future under Note Sense
Publishing, which Sergei founded. He is truly excited
for the opportunity to work with such talented crew
and cast, this is surely not the last collaboration
with his close friend Sean Glass and the rest of the
Hungry gang!
