My New Website!
Today, February 9, 2021 — is the birthday of my new website. I am very proud of that as it was completely written by me "from scratch" in HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, and MySQL without using any frameworks or third-party CMS. Cesar Cui was a military engineer, Alexander Borodin was a chemist, Charles Ives was an insurance agent. Considering the current world situation, I continue their tradition. If you are looking for someone to develop your website, please contact me.

In 2015, he composed a song that has become the anthem for the city of Kirov. In 2018, Prokhor won a Fulbright Scholarship, which allowed him to study orchestral conducting at the Bard College Conservatory of Music with James Bagwell and Leon Botstein. Since 2020 Prokhor is a Doctor of Musical Arts student at the University of Toronto. He has received several awards for his compositions, including the St. Romanos Melodos International Composers Competition in Saint Petersburg and the international composers competition, ‘Musical Palette of Durdy Bayramov,’ in Canada.
