Moscow Ballet celebrates Fedor's many achievements! At just 16 years old, he has already won First Place in 11 competitions. He has performed publicly at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and was invited to perform at the White House. The young musician has accompanied Master Classes given by prominent musicians such as Joshua Bell, Midori Gotō, Emerson Quartet, and Zvi Zeitlin.

He started taking violin lessons at the age of 5 and by 8, Fedor was invited to perform with the McLean Youth Symphony Orchestra. This spring he won a position to play under Maestro Lorin Maazel in the Castleton Festival Orchestra series as one of the only high school students to do so. Fedor, whose teacher is Oleg Rylatko, Concertmaster of Washington National Opera, is currently a sophomore at South Lakes High School in Reston, VA.

The special 20th Anniversary production of Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker in 2012 overflows with a spectacular new "Dove of Peace," where 2 dancers become one stunning bird, inspired by the early works of Stanislov Vlasov, original choreographer and director of Moscow Ballet's inaugural Great Russian Nutcracker. The production also features a Christmas tree that grows to 7 stories tall; falling snow and Troika-styled sleigh escorted by Russian folk characters Ded Moroz (Father Christmas) and Snegurochka (Snow Maiden); towering hand-made silk puppets; 200 all new, lavish costumes; and 9 hand-painted backdrops, all set to Pyotr Tchaikovsky's complete Nutcracker Suite score.

For 20 years, Great Russian Nutcracker performances have featured the finest Russian ballerinas and danseurs. From former Bolshoi soloist Stanislov Vlasov and partner Lilia Sabitova (People's Artist of Russia) in 1993 to the classic Marina Alexandrova and Vitaly Zabelin in 1996; danseur and upstart choreographer Anatolie Emelianov and Honored Artist of Russia Tatiana Predenia in 2002; Varna IBC Gold Medalists Cristina and Alexei Terentiev in 2006; and award winning partners Karyna Shatkovskaya and Vladimir Tkachenko in 2011. Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker celebrates 20 years of soaring holiday spirit!
