"In 1997, [David Avshalomov] traveled with his father Jacob to Moscow to record several CD's (for Marco Polo/Naxos) of the Chinese-style orchestral works that his grandfather, Aaron Avshalomov had written during his 30-year sojourn in China before the Revolution (plus David's own Elegy). In 1999, David guest-conducted at an extraordinary 80th-birthday concert for his father, with a Portland Youth Philharmonic Alumni orchestra performing music by three generations of Avshalomov composers.
