Helena Basilova

Her father Alexander Basilov (1946–2007), was a prominent Russian pianist, composer and piano teacher at Gnessin State Musical College.

To stretch the importance of heritage and passing on of tradition, Helena Basilova conducts research on the life and work of her father since 2012.

She also collaborates frequently with contemporary jazz musicians and living composers, such as Reinier Baas [nl] and Maxim Shalygin.

In 2016 Helena developed a visual-musical performance inspired by Scriabin together with video artists from DEFRAME collective.
