A celebrated violinist, Markov’s formidable talents also are applied to composing and teaching music. He has been a featured soloist with numerous orchestras, playing at concert halls all over North and South America—including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In 1994, he was welcomed back to Moscow for a performance. As a “birthday gift” to HIAS, he performed at HIAS Day with his wife, Marina, and son, Alexander.
