Leonid Hrabovsky was born in Kiev in 1935. After graduating from Kiev University in 1956 with degree in economics, entered the Kiev Conservatory, where he studied composition with Lev Revutsky and Boris Liatoshinsky. He graduated in 1959, received a graduate diploma in 1962, and after 1966 taught theory and composition there. He moved to Moscow in 1981. In the 1960s, along with a small group of Ukrainian composers, he experimented widely with modern techniques and styles, becomong a pioneer of the Soviet avant garde. He later sought a complex stylistic synthesis in his music. In 1989 Hrabovsky moved to the United States. He now resides in New York, where he holds a position of a composer-in-residence of the Ukrainian Institute of America. His compositions include a large body of symphonic, instrumental and vocal music, as well as music for theater and cinematograph.
