Help Niko Share His Piano Talent Globally

Support a Young Pianist’s Dream: Help Niko Perform Around the World

Meet Nicholas (Niko)—an exceptionally talented 11-year-old pianist with a heart full of music and a dream that’s beginning to bloom on an international stage.

In just three short years, Niko has progressed from beginner melodies to performing breathtaking pieces by Rachmaninov and Chopin—a rare accomplishment for a child his age. His natural gift for music appeared early: by six months old, he was mimicking sounds, and by age five, he was writing his own silly songs on the ukulele. But everything changed when he discovered the piano at age eight—and he hasn’t looked back.

Under the guidance of his teacher, Mrs. Marina MacGregor (a highly respected instructor with over 30 years of experience in the U.S. and Europe), Niko has accelerated far beyond expectations. With a love for both music and math, Niko describes music theory as “music math”—a joyful blend of creativity and precision that fuels his progress.

Recently, Niko and his father, Nikolay, discovered the joy of playing piano duets together. Their musical bond has led them to win multiple prestigious competitions, earning invitations to perform in:

    •    New York (July 2025)

    •    Honolulu (August 2024 & 2025)

    •    Los Angeles (July 2025)

    •    Japan (September 2025)

These performances are not only once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for Niko to share his gift with the world, but also a celebration of his dedication, discipline, and deep love for music.

We are reaching out to ask for your support in helping Niko cover travel expenses, lodging, and performance fees for these international opportunities. Every contribution—big or small—will help bring this young artist closer to his dream.

Your generosity is more than a donation—it’s a note in the beautiful symphony of Niko’s journey.

Thank you for believing in young talent, and for being part of Niko’s growing legacy.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Family of Nicholas (Niko)
