Vladimir Perminov is a stable “base” of the trio. His Glass Pan flute gives the enigmatic low notes providing volume and solidity to the general sounding of the band. 

Vladimir was born in 1962 at Barnaul. He got professional education in the Odessa State Conservatory (class of the professor S.I. Zakorsky) and in the Krasnoyarsk Institute of Arts (class of the docent A.V. Ivanov). In 1995 he worked on probation in the summer Academy on the ancient music in Innsbruck, Austria. He worked in the Symphony orchestra of the Odessaregional philharmony, the Altai Theater of musical comedy, the band of the ancient music “Ars Longa”. He performed together with the bands “Peterburgskaya Mozaika” and “Zvezdy Peterburga”. At present moment he is an artist of the symphony orchestra of the State philharmony of the Altai region. In the band Crystal Trio he performs since 2005. 

“To play the glass flute is hard physically. The necessary volume of air is two liters while the lungs include only two liters. So, it happens that everything goes dark before my eyes. Healthy way of life, healthy food and positive and calm mood help me…”
