Dmitry Drobko<\/strong>
MMus \u00ed Sk\u00f6pun, mi\u00f0lun og frumkv\u00f6\u00f0lastarfi – NAIP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Riga, Latvia, in 1992, Dmitri Drobko began cello studies at age\u202f8 under Sandra\u202fGreenberg. He continued formal training at J.\u202fMedins School of Music and E.\u202fDarzins Music High School for gifted students, studying with Agne\u202fSprudza. After completing his Latvian education, he pursued advanced studies at the Felix\u202fMendelssohn\u2011Bartholdy Conservatory in Leipzig, followed by mentorship with Anatoly\u202fNikitin and Aleksey\u202fMassarsky at the N.\u202fRimsky\u2011Korsakov Conservatory in Saint\u202fPetersburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his time in Russia, Drobko co\u2011founded the Kandinsky Orchestra Petersburg and performed with ensembles such as JUST, Sinfonietta Petersburg, the State Academic Symphony Orchestra, and the Saint\u202fPetersburg Kapella Orchestra. His concert engagements have taken him to venues across Europe, North America, and Asia, including the Petersburg Philharmonia, Mariinsky Concert Hall, and venues in Germany, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, China, the United States, and Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently residing in Iceland, Drobko studies at the University of the Arts Reykjav\u00edk while maintaining dual artistic pursuits: classical cello performance (solo, duo, trio) and interdisciplinary collaborations that integrate music and dance, notably a solo project with dancer Leevi\u202fMettinen, choreographed by Margr\u00e9t\u202fBjarnad\u00f3ttir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also contributes to student initiatives at LH\u00cd\u202f\u2013\u202fSkerpla, participates in the Camerata program, engages in creative writing, and takes part in residencies and field trips in the Netherlands and Iceland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00datskriftarverk<\/strong>
Expectations: Sound & Movement by Dmitri Drobko and Leevi Mettinen explores the fragile connection between two art forms, merging them in an improvisational performance. It’s an attempt to let go of the need to know everything right now: how the path will unfold and what the next step will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we anticipate, when we expect, when we search, whatever we look for often tends to slip away from us, and our mind becomes closed to experiencing anything new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we let go and remain in the present, being fully in the moment and immersed in the now, we finally open ourselves to receive.
