Two days ago, I heard of the news of the sudden passing of Dmitry Volkov. I couldn't believe it, especially since the cause of death was rumored to be heart failure. A bright, young cellist at the age of 26 and in the middle of a performance tour, it just couldn't be!
Dima and I went to Peabody and Heifetz Institute together. I was charmed by his friendly and carefree personality as well as his virtuosic skills on the cello. He had so much music in him and so much potential to share....his abrupt departure is a huge blow to people who know him and his music.
I wish the best for Dima's family and friends. Below is a statement from Heifetz Institute.
R.I. P, Dima.
