Hello! I am John David Vandevert.

I am a student at a foreign University. If you're interested to know who I am, leave me a message on my talk page. I have a Russian Wiki profile under the same name, so go check me out there if you find yourself in the Russian sphere of the Wiki universe.

I am starting the long process of converting many Russian composers, of whom are relatively unknown to Western audiences ie., Marian Koval, Mikhail Vielgorsky, Maria Zubova, and their Russian Wiki pages to English. There are many more composers other than Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and the canon names.
