KOSTIA is a treasured musician, composer, and human being

Text us about this show.Kostia is, in a word, special. He's not only a prolific composer and pianist, but one of the most genuine human beings you could ever know. Born and raised in St. Petersburg in the former USSR, Kostia made his way to the United States in 1989 and within a week of arriving he had his first recording deal with Narada Records. Over the years he has been active in the Milwaukee music scene accompanying vocalist Carmen Nickerson and playing keyboards for guitarist Daryl Stuermer (Genesis, Phil Collins). He is a Grammy nominated artist whose compositions are easy to get wrapped up in and a gentleman in every sense of the word. His heart comes out in all the music he brings into being and that is what makes Kostia special."Russian Story," "Song of Evergreen," "Girl From Barcelona," "Winter Ride," "Troika," "First Touch," "There Is So Much Light," and "American Fields" written and performed by Kostia℗ Kostia Efimov.
