PARASTAEV

Hi! My name is Kirill.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, composer, performer, and music teacher with over 15 years of professional experience. I play piano, guitar, and ukulele.

From 2009 to 2014, I was a member of the indie band The Retuses, performing on guitar, keyboards, ukulele, and backing vocals.

Today, my work focuses on three main areas.

1. Live Performances (Vocals, Piano & Guitar — Solo or Ensemble)

I create the perfect musical atmosphere for intimate events, private celebrations, gallery openings, presentations, and corporate gatherings. I regularly perform at some of Moscow's well-known venues, including Gallery "Drugoe Delo", Blanc, Powerhouse, Praktika Bar, Munk, 16 Tons, and GIMPEL Restaurant.

For elegant entertainment

A carefully curated repertoire featuring timeless classics by artists such as Sting, Michael Jackson, Leonid Agutin, Valery Meladze, Bravo, and many others. Upon request (at least one week in advance), I'm happy to learn and perform a meaningful song that is special to you, even if it isn't currently in my repertoire.

For a cinematic, intimate atmosphere

Instrumental piano performances featuring contemporary neoclassical music and iconic film scores by composers such as Hans Zimmer and Ólafur Arnalds, alongside beloved themes from films including Interstellar, The Intouchables, and La La Land.

Flexible performance formats

From solo piano or voice-and-guitar performances to refined chamber ensembles, including a full string quartet (two violins, viola, and cello), depending on the scale and character of your event.

Professional setup

I perform with my own premium compact digital piano and professional sound equipment, allowing me to provide a complete, high-quality setup without requiring a technical rider. Several ready-made performance programs are available and can be tailored to your event.
