ABOUT VYACHESLAV GRYAZNOV:

Vyacheslav Gryaznov made his 2016 West Coast debut with Steinway Society, and this is his third return to our stage. Since then, he has gathered acclaim at Berlin Philharmonie and Carnegie Hall, among others, and authored more than 40 concert arrangements. He has gained a reputation as one of the most remarkable young arrangers working today. In 2014, Gryaznov signed a publishing contract with Schott Music, the youngest Russian in their history to do so.

Gryaznov studied at the Moscow State Conservatory for his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and earned the Yale School of Music's Artist Diploma in 2018.

Information about G-Phil Virtual Orchestra Assistant: https://g-phil.app/

My name is Vyacheslav Gryaznov, and in this project, I am realizing my version of a "dream" orchestra for practice and performance.

As a concert pianist, I have performed with orchestras many times and even conducted a few, but I personally never felt there were enough rehearsals. This fact led me to attempt to recreate, as realistically and engaging as possible, an orchestral accompaniment track using a sample library mock-up. Or, to put it more precisely, I aimed to create the kind of accompaniment I would want from a real orchestra when performing as a soloist.
