Alexei Mejouev, violin

When Alexei Mejouev began playing in the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra as a junior in high school, he became the youngest member ever to join.  He also plays in the Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra, The Accidentals (UNCW based chamber ensemble), his own string quartet, and sings in The Voyagers (advanced choral ensemble at Hoggard High School).  Outside of the classical music genre, Alexei plays with a nationally touring Dave Matthews Tribute Band, including a performance at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach and the Downtown Sundown concert series in Wilmington.  In addition to his performing schedule, Alexei teaches at a local violin camp in the summer called Fiddlers By the Sea.
 
Not surprisingly, Alexei comes from a musical family.  His mother graduated from a music school in Russia and sang with a choir all over Europe, including a performance for the Pope.  The family immigrated to the U.S. when Alexei was only 15 months old, and they speak only Russian at home.
 
When asked what inspired him to become a musician, Alexei says, “I am so thankful for my music teachers I’ve had here in Wilmington, my first teacher, Nancy McAllister and now Beverly Andrews along with others that have helped me get where I am. The inspire me to keep doing what I’m doing. As in famous role models definitely Gil Shaham, my favorite violinist and one day I hope to at least play with half of his ability. Shaham is also a cool dude which is a plus in my book.”
 
He is the winner of the 35th and 39th annual Richard R. Deas Student Concerto Competition, and will be performing the Barber Violin Concert with the Wilmington Symphony in February.

Hello,

My name is Dennis Cumbow, I am a music teacher in Bristol Tennessee. I am getting married on Topsail Island @ 6:00 on June 16th. I am looking for a cellist and violinist/viola to play on a song I wrote for my bride to be, and possible a classical piece for while people gather. The wedding is very short and casual and will be on the beach. Please let me know if you are interested or if you know someone who may be, and let me know what your price would be. The music is pretty simple, should be easy. I’ll be playing piano/keyboard. Feel free to call me 276 791 2804

Thanks!
Dennis Cumbow
