My name is Dimitri Illarionov. I am a guitarist: mainly classical, sometimes not very classical. But still 100% academic musician. Welcome to my virtual ‘hopeness’ 👉 page.
In case you are wondering how to spell those «Ill» in the beginning of my last name, just say: first: «Hillary», second: «On», third: «Off».
ILLARI-ON-OV. It is much easier than you may think.
I do like to play solo as well as with other great people and orchestras.

Here’s some ‘Hopeness’ for you – a piece I wrote in 2014.
* ‘Hopeness’ is a neologism for a state or condition of having hope.
* You need to know that ‘World premiere’ is my favorite word, I am serious
