Verified profile

I am Ivan Varchenko, originally coming from Kazakhstan, but now based in Scotland, UK. I am in the process of completing my Bachelor of Music (Performance) degree on Saxophone and Piano. Received my education in the Purcell School of Music, where I managed to gain a lot of stage-performance and teaching experience. Also, I have worked in my home country as a restaurant musician(sax, piano) and on some various gigs for 4 years. I associate my future career with mostly teaching, performing and composing music. I can offer a high-quality performance on both of the instruments with a diverse choice of repertoire for any event. Also, I’m fluent in three languages- English, Russian and German.

Dear Ivan, Thank you very much for a very soulful performance, it made our day very special. My wife and I wanted to thank you one more time for the improv you did on the piano at the end of your set, it was truly inspiring (my mother was really touched by it). Thanks for everything! All the best, Mr and Mrs Karimov
