Holiday Traditions
The holidays are a special time of year!
How we celebrate Christmas and New Year in America, is very different than how we celebrate these holidays in Russia!
Christmas is wonderful here and in Russia too. But in Russia, Christmas is not as big a holiday as it is here. We don't spend so much money buying gifts, like Americans do. Instead we may have a small gift and wonderful food and invite friends and neighbors to join us for food, drink and small gifts for everyone!
For Russians, New Year is our biggest holiday! New Year’s Eve, we give thanks for what we received, and prepare to receive the wishes, hopes and dreams the New Year will bring. We go crazy for New Year as it is the biggest holiday of the year and everyone is happy and celebrating!
I look forward to continuing to perform and entertain my clients &d their guests!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Busy season for weddings
I am blessed that I am so busy! Now that the weather is getting cooler, we have lots of Las Vegas weddings just before the holidays! I can play solo or arrange a duet, trio or quartet for your wedding or party. Combine wedding and cocktail hour and get a discount!
Intimate Ravella Wedding
This weekend I played for an intimate wedding at the luxury hotel Ravella, at beautiful Lake Las Vegas. The groom was dashing and the bride, beautiful in a gown she designed herself.
Just as the sun is setting on the lagoon, the bride walks down a candle lit path covered in rose pedals while I play “All I Ask of You” on my violin.
The ceremony on the beach with the music, the sunset and the beautiful couple was a magic moment, for sure.
2012 New Year’s Eve Party
Celebrating New Years Eve in Las Vegas is fantistic!
Last New Year, at midnight my husband proposed to me in Russian! He does not know how to speak Russian but he tries! Instead of saying, “Would you marry me?” he said in Russian, ? I want to marry me!” I laughed and how could I say no to him. He so tried.
This year, I played New Year’s Eve at a local Russian Restaurant. It was so much fun. My Countrymen know how to have a good time. New Year is one of our biggest holidays in Russia. Fireworks in Las Vegas was spectacular. After I played violin at restaurant, My lovely husband, Terry and I got together with good friends and brought 2012 in together. Fantastic!
As the Las Vegas Violinist, I get to meet such nice people here in America. Thank you for allowing me to play for you!
Snovim Godom! (Happy New Year!)
I love playing private parties
Christmas is a great time for friends and family to get together!
Thank you for inviting me in your beautiful home to entertain your guests.
Everyone was so nice. Food and beverages were great.
Guests so enjoyed my violin and piano recitals this evening.
Nov 18th Charity Event
I preformed at the Four Seasons Hotel Nov 18th, 2011 on behalf of the Down Syndrome Organization. A wonderful event for such a worthy cause.

Private Dinner Party
Chef's Table
I was lucky enough to be invited to play a special dinner party last Saturday at Peggy's beautiful home.
The theme of the party was French, so of course I played the wandering violin player, playing mostly French music.
It was so much fun and everyone so liked my music!
All of the food looked so good and Peggy paid attention to every detail to make the event spectacular.
Jewish Wedding at Rhodes Ranch
Well it was an ideal setting
Beautiful Rhodes Ranch, lovely bride and handsome groom. I so enjoyed the location.
It was my first Jewish Wedding and the ceremony was wonderful.
I played “Unchained Melody” as the procession came to the chuppah and “Wonderful World” at the end.

Tatiana, thank you so much for being part of our day. I made sure to stop and listen to the music. I’ve heard so many brides say that they’re so nervous they never even hear the music. The Music was beautiful and just added so much to our day. I hope you weren’t too cold! :).
