Лeв ГУНИН

Лев Гунин в своей монреальской квартире

Lev in his small Montreal appartment

Was born in Bobruysk (Belarus) 1956. At the age of six began to attend the state music school in native city. Grandfather`s sister, Zina Polakova (Epstein), was a singer at "Bolshoy Opera" in Moscow, and presented first young musician's compositions to maestro D. Shostakovich. He said that "this young man" must study composition. In 1968 -- participation in "Young Composers Competition" (Belarus) and a prize with warm welcome by Ury Semeniako, a famous Belarusian composer.

"I've graduated from a professional music college (Novo-Polotzk, then Brest) specializing in music analysis, harmony, counterpoint, music history, music theory, classical compositions and arrangements. I was an advanced piano student. My composition teachers during my studies were M.Rusin , N.Zarubko and N.Karetnikov, later - Smolsky."

Working as a music teacher I took lessons from famous composers such as V. Kotov, V. Chistiakov, B.Chaykovsky, V.Uspensky, V.Riabow in Leningrad (St.Petersburg): Lev Obeliovich, Genrich Vagner, Dmitry Smolski and Ury Semeniako in Minsk; Dr.Balakauskas in Vilnus.

I furthered my education, five more years, at the Minsk`s Institute of Culture -- a University for choir / orchestra conductors and for librarians.

Persecutions, my health condition and other tragic events surrounding the lives of close relatives as well as my own prevented me from exploring my musical studies: from joining music unions; and in fact from pursuing a musical career.

The above explains , in a way, why I have a very personal approach to musical creation. I much prefer to find a venue for my finished works than to take on requested compositions.
