About


Welcome to the Classical Music Geek blog. I'm Emery Kerekes, the one playing cello in the middle of the photo above.

I eat, breathe, and sleep music. When I'm not in rehearsal or class, I can be found surfing Spotify for albums old and new, going to any and all concerts I can cram into my schedule, or sightreading chamber music with friends.

I am a geek in every sense of the word. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

With this blog, I want to help you love classical music more. I want to show you the pieces, recordings, and concerts that have pulled me (and continue to pull me) deep into the abyss of classical music -- a hole from which I hope never to emerge.

Looking forward to bringing you along for the ride!

  2. Hello,

    My name is Ilya Denisov. I am a designer and composer from Russia. I represent the group of authors of the project Knight and Wolf. The central part of the project is a music album (genre: modern classic) created by me and my colleague, musician Alexis Tsarkov. The release of the album was at year-end of 2018.

    The music of the project is accompanied by painting and poetry, which was created by my father Alexander Denisov. Together, music, painting and poetry are dramatic artwork that tells us about the world of men's ambitions, dreams, and becoming happy while following the dream.

    In 2019, we had a big event in Nizhny Novgorod. There was presented painting project and music of the album. The Nizhny Novgorod Chamber Orchestra performed selected album compositions for the guests of the exhibition.

    I will be very grateful if you pay attention to our project, get acquainted with its art and musical component, with our clip Knight and Night. We will be glad if you tell your audience about it. Of course, if you like our project.

  7. Dear Emery,

    I was wondering if you would be interested in the animation series I'm making about Bach. The aim is to make old, "boring" classical music, more specifically the life of Bach, more accessible and certainly more fun for young and old. It's certainly not my intention to earn money with it, nor to acquire fame... I'd be a fool if this were the case. Every single episode takes months to create for only a few hundred viewers. Yet, the few lovely comments I've received so far are all that I need. I hope that you'll appreciate that.

    Any feedback, either good or bad, is always appreciated.

    Kind regards, 

    Peter
