Biography[edit]

Artyomov was preparing to become a physicist, studying music at the same time. He finished studying at the musical college affiliated to the Moscow Conservatory (composition class of A. Pirumov), then graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1968, where he studied composition with Nikolai Sidelnikov[2] and piano with Tovi Logovinsky. He became a member of the Union of Soviet Composers and Association for Contemporary Music (ACM). He was active as an editor at the Moscow publisher "Musyka"[2] for several years.


In 1975, he joined the improvisation group "Astreya," together with the composers Sofia Gubaidulina and Viktor Suslin.[2] In 1979, he was blacklisted as one of Khrennikov's Seven at the Sixth Congress of the Union of Soviet Composers for unapproved participation in some festivals of Soviet music in the Western world.


His music was performed by Rostropovich, Rozhdestvensky, Fedoseyev, Spivakov, Pletnyov, Currentzis, Virko Baley, Bunin, Kopachevsky, Isakadze, Grindenko, Yo-Yo Ma, Rudin, Yanchenko, and Ashkenazy.[3]


He was a participant in many European musical venues since 1979. Festivals of his music include: "Festival of the Premiers" (Moscow, 1994), "Artyomov-Festival" (Amsterdam, 1997). His works were nominated for the State Prizes in Russia and prestigious prizes in the US. They appeared on more than 30 CDs in USA, United Kingdom, Germany and Russia. His selected works began to be published in 2000 in Moscow (8 volumes were issued). Artyomov is a full member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, president of the Foundation for Spiritual Creation, and holder of the Order of Friendship (2010). "Man of the year – 2016".[3]
