John David Schalcosky born July 7[1], 1982 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[2] is the fourth generation ancestor to Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky[3], [4]composer of such work as The Nutcracker, 1812 Overture, and Swan Lake.
John is currently working towards becoming a classical music and film score composer.[5] It has been over a century since Tchaikovsky composed some of the most loved and well-known music in the world. No one connected to this bloodline has been involved in music since At only twenty-seven years of age, John has completed an impressive list of classical symphony pieces including a three-movement piano concerto and a three-movement violin concerto. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John has been studying music since age of seven and showed an incredible talent for composing pieces for the piano. Twenty years later John has composed pieces for string quartets, guitar, piano and a large number of pieces for symphony orchestras. During his spare time John has also written many pieces created by his love for rock and roll. With over 100 years separating him from Tchaikovsky[6], it is apparent that history will repeat itself as John joins the ranks of some of the greatest composers of this century.
John's favorite hobbies include Genealogy and Paranormal Studies.
