Yuri's Music Update: The Janesville Armory and The Gathering Place

This week I will be playing piano at the Janesville Armory (Friday, February 6) starting at 6 pm, and at the Gathering Place in Milton (Sunday, February 8) starting at 1:30 pm.
I hope to see you at one or both of those venues.

Looking for a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day? Here's an idea!

"Moving Forward" - The Album

Moving Forward is my 2nd CD. It features well over an hour of original piano music and continues where the first CD has left off with more relaxing piano music. Though some of the compositions are more complex and developed than the ones on the Piano Originals, Moving Forward provides the listener with more soothing piano music that is perfect for everything from driving to working on computer, to meditation, to having it play in the background, while sitting around with friends. It's the next best thing to having me play piano at your party.

"Sound Advice"

This is a video I put together using my composition "Sound Advice" and some of the photographs I have taken while on my visits to San Francisco.

"Here We Are"

This is a video I put together using my composition "Here We Are" from "Piano Originals" and some of the photographs I have taken. "Here We Are" has been repeatedly mentioned to me as listeners' favorite track from the album.

Yuri's Music Update: CD Release Party tonight!

I hope to see you tonight - January 15 - at Codos Coffee Shop at the big CD Release Party for my latest album "Moving Forward".
Codos is located in Downtown Janesville on Main street, right next to the Main Street Saloon. Music starts at 8 pm and I expect to have a few of my local musician-friends join me for a jam session. Should be a great time.
I will also be playing this Friday - January 16 - at the Janesville Country Club, starting at 6 pm.
