While learning the piano and the organ, he composed several “juvenile” pieces for both instruments. Over the last decade, he has composed various pieces for solo instruments, small ensembles, or orchestras who posted a number of his worldwide premieres on YouTube.

In August 2026, his Violin concerto in D major has just been premiered by the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine (conducted by Roman Kreslenko, soloist Petro Titiayev).

In 2022, his Piano concerto in D minor was premiered by the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine (conducted by Volodymyr Syvokhip, soloist Oksana Rapita).

In 2021, his Piano concerto in G minor was premiered by the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova (conducted by Mihail Agafiţa, soloist Diana Voroneţcaia).

He received composition awards for such works as his Præludium & fuga MMXVIII for organ, or his chorale “Vor Johann Sebastian, tret ich hiermit” for string orchestra. Several CD containing his music received various awards.

His compositions represent over 140 pieces, eight hours and 1,200 pages of music, not including instrumental parts or various transcriptions. (None of these compositions was generated by AI.)
