Sergey Khvoshchinsky, Belarusian-American
composer, was born in 1957 in Minsk, Belarus. He graduated as a composer
from Belarusian State Conservatory (in the class of famous Belarusian
composer, Professor Dmitry Smolsky). After Mr. Khvoshchinsky established his
career in Belarus as a composer, in 2000 he moved to the United States,
where he continues his career. He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Mr. Khvoshchinsky is author of many works composed in various genres and
styles. His music features singable melody and simple harmony, varieties of
rhythms, and clarity of form. His orchestra and choir scores are rich with
color and powerful sound. Among his compositions are a Symphony for
Symphonic Orchestra; a Choral Symphony; a Concerto for Accordion and
Symphonic Orchestra; two ballets; scores for dances; music for orchestra and
band; suites for accordion, woodwind instruments, violin, piano;
arrangements of sacred hymns; songs and arrangements of folk tunes; and
music for solo instruments. While in the USA he has been very active in the
field of choral music, collaborating with many choirs in America and Europe.
Mr. Khvoshchinsky is a winner of four International and American composers’
competitions. Among them are the Dallas Wind Symphony contest for new
Fanfares (2006), the Faith Partners Program of the American Composers Forum
(2005), the VocalEssence contest "Welcome Christmas" for a new Christmas
carol (2001), and Boston Metro Opera’s International Contemporary Americana
Festival (2010). He is also the winner of a Soviet Union competition for the
symphonic poem “Khatyn” (Moscow 1985). In 2000, Khvoshchinsky received a
commission for the Belarusian Rhythmic Gymnastics Team for the Olympic Games
in Sydney, Australia, in which they took second place.
Some of Khvoshchinsky’s compositions have received international
recognition. His compositions and arrangements of folk music have been
performed in most countries of the world by Belarusian and local groups as
well. Among them are world-recognized groups such as The Rose Ensemble from
the United States (a winner of the International Choir Festival in Tolosa,
Spain, 2007); the Choir of Stellenbosch University, South Africa (a winner
of the World Choir Games in China in 2010); Enchiriadis, a women’s vocal
group from Spain (Gran Premio Nacional de Canto Coral, 2010); and many
others.
In other years, Khvoshchinsky taught at Minsk Musical College (accordion
performance) and Belarusian University of Culture (music theory and
contemporary music arrangement). In 1995, the composer founded the Chamber
Ensemble, whose concert program was based on his arrangements of
Renaissance, classical, sacred, and popular music.
Currently, Mr. Khvoshchinsky works at Episcopal church in St. Paul,
Minnesota, and composes music, receiving commissions from around the United
States and across the world. As an arranger, Khvoshchinsky collaborates with
many churches in the United States.
