A charismatic performer, Arkady is a thrill to watch in concert!

Whether it is his own compositions, or his unusual arrangements of a wide variety of music, Arkady owns the stage and his audiences via an instant bond.

A fluid, organic connection with his band is obvious, as is his passion for the "moment", that feeds off his interactions with the audience!

As a multi-woodwind specialist, composer, arranger, and producer -- Arkady thrives in the recording studio environment.

Blowing spontaneous improvisations in a wide range of musical styles; making written solo parts sound fresh as if they were just composed; blending within a horn section, or a woodwind section in a full orchestra, or a reed section of a big band; creating instant arrangements that sound like they were written in advance -- Arkady is a joy to have in a recording studio.

The ideas fly, time flies, cause there is much fun in the air! The producer, recording engineer, and Arkady all breathe as one, and the music comes together quickly, and naturally with ease!
