Dmitri can be heard on recordings of chamber music by Gunther Schuller, Yehudi Wyner, Eric Ewazen, Kevin Volans, Dan Visconti, and Jens Krüger.
Dmitri was born in Voronezh, Russia, to the family of professional musicians. Dr. Pogorelov holds degrees in music performance from Northwestern (DMA), DePaul (MM), and Lynn (BM) universities, having studied with Gerardo Ribeiro, Ilya Kaler, Elmar Oliveira, and Sergiu Schwartz.
Dmitri plays the “Radetzky” David Tecchler violin ca. 1720, on loan to him through the generosity of an anonymous donor, as well as a copy of a Vincenzo Panormo violin, loaned by a long- time mentor, Archbishop Zinovy of Mordovia.
Dmitri lives in Littleton with his wife Emily. When not playing the violin, he enjoys exploring national parks, hiking, cooking, and watching soccer.
