Emilian
B. Sichkin, a Russian born composer, grew up in an artistic family.
His father is a well-known film and theatre actor; most recently
portrayed Leonid Brezhnev in the Oliver Stone film "Nixon."
His mother is a ballet dancer from the Moscow Bolshoy Theater
and later a choreographer for the Mosfilm studios in Moscow. Emilian
began music studies at the age of three and wrote his first
composition at the age of nine. He studied at the Gnessin School of
Music and later at the Moscow Conservatory with Albert Leman. After
his father was persecuted on fabricated charges, in protest the whole
family immigrated to New York.
Emilian's
music is deeply rooted in the Romantic tradition and is remarkably
free of the avant-garde cacophony of noises and sounds so pervasive
in the current classical music trends. Emilian's first published work
"Concerto for Astronauts" (1986) was highly acclaimed. It
was aired on WQXR and reached millions of people on the "Voice
of America." The work was performed at the South Street Seaport
in New York City for two consecutive years and used extensively for
the ABC Television show "All my children". In 1991
Emilian received his American debut at Carnegie Hall with the
performance of "The Winds of Freedom." The performance
ended with a standing ovation from the audience.
