        Gregory Alchevsky was born in 1866 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, then the Russian Empire, the son of the wealthy industrialist and banker Aleksey Alchevsky.

        He was a Russian and Ukrainian composer. He graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkiv University in 1887 and continued his studies at the Moscow Imperial Conservatory.
