Kalinin, the Moscow Folk Orchestra under conductor I. Gromov, V. Petrov's Orchestra of the Gnessin Academy, and others.

Dmitry has performed in some of the best concert halls in Russia and abroad, including the Bolshoi Theater, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Santory-Hall in Tokyo, and others. His balalaika performances have likewise been featured in numerous Russian films, including "The Siberian Barber", "The Tender Age", "Under the Polar Star", "Collective Farm", and many others.

Since 2002, Dmitry has worked with the pianist - and fellow Classical Archives Featured Artist - Filipp Subbotin, in the "Russian Duet", several recordings of which are featured here.
