David

David has been playing the piano for 18 years. He was born and raised in Moscow, where he studied at the Academic Music College named after Tchaikovsky. He later continued at the Moscow State Conservatory before transferring to Southern Methodist University, where he’s currently completing his bachelor’s degree.

Along the way, David has performed in SMU’s Honor Recital for chamber music and, in July 2025, won the Chicago Music International Competition.

Beyond performing, he is excited to help people discover a deeper love for music and become more confident at the piano. Sharing what he has learned and helping others grow as musicians is just as meaningful to him as playing on stage.
