The most popular classical music artist you've never heard.



Hailing from Russia and now Melbourne based, composer and guitarist Alex
Chudnovsky could very well be the most popular classical artist you've never
heard of before.



When you think of classical guitar, the internet is probably not the first thing
that springs to mind. And yet, over the past 5 years, Alex Chudnovsky has
utilised the internet, in particular You Tube, to spread the word about his
playing and to promote his music in a way that no other Australian classical
musician has ever done.



Since starting his own You Tube channel, Alex has attracted over 6000
subscribers to watch videos that he has uploaded of himself playing tracks from
his debut album, The Journey. In total, Alex has had over 2.1 million video
views. A staggering amount for any musical act, let alone a classical guitarist
playing original, contemporary compositions. In overall subscriptions Alex is
currently the number 12 ranked music act on You Tube Australia.



In true interactive style, Alex's fans often upload videos of themselves playing
their own version of his compositions, a practice that he actively encourages by
making the music notation available to them. And now that his album The Journey
is available physically as well as digitally, the phenomenon can continue
spreading.



Alex will be performing live to air this Sunday August 2nd on 3PBS Melbournes
Global Village show at 530pm.



Following this Alex will undertake a range of small festivals/venues and other
appearances leading to his official launch in summer.



For interview requests please contact Marshall Cullen at Foghorn Media.
