Sergei Trofanov, born in Moldova (ex-USSR), September 9th 1960, A few years later, taking up classical music studies. Alongside my close circle of musicians, at ten years old, I give my first performances at local celebrations, marriages and private parties. This considerable training coupled with the remarkable skills I had developed as a performer, paved the way to the Conservatory of Kishinev, capital city of Moldova. Later, at 22, the compulsory military service of my country would lead me to join one of the Red Army's orchestras as an experienced violinist. Later at 24, I passed with flying colors audition, and become a violinist in the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova, in which, from time to time, I am asked to perform as solo violin. My career soars soon after. On many occasions, I am invited to join various orchestras that are called upon to perform at national celebrations and major events. At times, I play with internationally renowned musicians. At this point of my artistic career, I make many television and radio appearances, as well as a series of musical recordings and video productions. Before coming to Canada, I toured extensively, stopping over in places such as England, Italy, Czech-Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Ex-Yugoslavia, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Madagascar, and Mauritius. Since my arrival in Montreal (Canada) in 1991, I have been enjoying an international career, constantly performing in many Canadian and American cities such as Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Winnipeg, New York, Chicago and many others. Overseas, I went on tour in France. Quickly after my arrival, I was noticed by someone from the television industry and appeared as a guess star on CBC Television, (our National coast to coast television network). Many television appearances followed this first one and my popularity grew quickly.
