The
Second
International Conservatoire Week Festival
|
On
the threshold of the city’s tercentenary and celebrating this
year the 140th anniversary of the St. Petersburg State
Conservatoire’s foundation, it is organising the Second
International Conservatoire Week Festival. The festival, which
is without precedent in the world, will bring together, for the
second time now, the music schools of Russia, Europe, and America.
The
idea behind the International Conservatoire Week Festival
is not only to demonstrate the achievements of various
performers, from the talented and young to the famous, but also to
present the original outlooks of the music schools and their
students.
The
Festival organizers aim to:
-
Familiarise
musicians, experts and music lovers with the fine traditions
and contemporary achievements of various music schools;
-
Present
the St. Petersburg audiences unheard music of different genres
and epochs, Russian and world premieres of chamber
compositions;
-
Provide
the opportunity for the exchange of experience in various
areas of music;
-
Strengthen
international links and mutual understanding between different
music cultures via informal co-creation and joint performance;
Each
invited music school will make its mark on the Festival through
appearances in the concert program and in the series of lectures
and master-classes.
For
the first time the Festival program will include an international
educational seminar dedicated to the management of musical events
and musical groups.
The outcome of the seminar is planned to be practical guidelines
for music managers and music events producers on the development
and promotion of the projects in the music sphere.
The
Festival concerts will take place in the Glazunov Hall, one of the
best chamber music halls in Europe, reborn after a large-scale
restoration to public concert activities.
The
Northern capital of Russia and the oldest Russian Conservatoire
await ambassadors of national music cultures – representatives
of the highest schools of music in the world.
Viva,
Conservatoire!
