LIUDMILA KNYAZEVA. Bio
Hello to all.
My name is Liudmila Knyazeva. I am a composer and writer.
   I am an official artist of the American company VG music label.(Chicago) I am a composer, laureate of international competitions, participant of the international music festivals.
My music creative portfolio contains works of different genres and forms, including: symphonic music, one opera. two ballets. chamber music, compositions for the choir, music for children and popular songs.
At the same time, my favorite genres are pop, rock and classics with a modern twist. Now I am preparing a concert program from my compositions in these genres in order to prepare a good show and perform.

The most interesting from my biography

       I am a descendant of the famous Austro-Russian field marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz.* The composer Johann Strauss wrote the well-known “Radetzky March” in his honor.
The famous Austro-Russian field marshal Johannes-Joseph-Wenzel-Anton-Frantz-Karl von Radetzky was the great grandfather of her grandfather.
       My grandfather Evgeny Fyodorovich Radetzky was a colonel in the medical corps in General Denikin’s army. During his participation in the Kronstadt rebellion his arm was badly wounded. For the two years after being wounded he hid in the house of his wife, my grandmother Nadezhda, and he did not go outside at all. But when he finally did go outside, he was caught by secret police officers and was shot on the spot without trial or investigation.

      My grandmother became a widow while she was pregnant with my father, and she faced the prospect of shooting as well. But a painter Fyodor, my father’s step father, saved her life by marrying her.

Other famous people in my genealogy

The elder sister, Irina, of my grandfather Evgeny Radetsky, emigrated after the October coup d’etat and other related events. Irina went to Great Britain and married the famous English artist, Henry Moore.



* Josef Radetzky von Radetz

Johann Josef Wenzel Graf Radetzky von Radetz (English: Count John Joseph Wenceslaus Radetzky of Radetz, Czech: Jan Josef Václav hrabě Radecký z Radče) (November 2, 1766 – January 5, 1858) was a Czech nobleman and Austrian and Russian (1849) general-field-marshal, the most outstanding commander of Austria.

**“Radetzky March” (Opus #228) was written by Johann Strauss in honor of Radetzky in 1848. Later this music became a regimental march of the 5th Radetzky hussar regiment. This regiment exists now (as a tank regiment) with the same regimental march).
   


   In October 2006, I took part in the Buchmesse in Frankfurt, where my author's works of music, literature, theater and documentary films were exhibited. One of the most famous my works is a mono performance "Ascent to Noah's Ark" about the russian blind monk Anthony, who visited the Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat. The performance is entirely based on documentary material. In the mono play "Ascent to Noah's Ark," I acted as the screenwriter. music author and lead actor. Also I wrote program symphony "The Ascent" (fragments this music were used to design a mono performance) and the book "Ascent" (in print and in audio book format) in Russian and English оn the same subject.
 
   In 2019, Vladimir Gershanov, the leader of the VG MUSIC LABEL (Chicago), offered me to sign a contract. It was a great success for me, I think. The label has published my major music pieces on all the world's leading streaming platforms, including Spotify, Napster, Pandora, Amazon Music, Diizer, Tidal and others.
