[edit] Biography
Igor Vishnevetsky was born in Rostov-on-the-Don in 1964 to Georgei and Alla Vishnevetsky. Vishnevetsky originally aspired to become a composer, and studied music in school before attending Moscow State University to pursue a degree in philology. After graduating in 1986, Vishnevetsky became an active member of the poetry and art scenes that existed in Moscow and St. Petersburg prior to the break-up of the Soviet Union.
Vishnevetsky emigrated to the United States in 1995, but now splits his time between the United States and Russia (he has remained a Russian citizen). In recent years, he has also become a notable music historian, and is considered an authority on the Russian-American composer Vladimir Dukelsky.
