For
the past five years the Conservatoire’s home on Theatre Square has
hospitably thrown open the doors of its auditoriums and concert halls
each autumn for the participants and guests of its International Conservatoire
Week Festival — young musicians and their instructors from various
Russian cities, and from foreign countries both near and far. For
five years Russia’s oldest higher institution of music education has
been expanding the borders of countries and continents, eliminating
language barriers, and creating a special “musical civilization” —
a creative community of the world’s higher institutions of music education.
How is the professional musician — composer, performer, pedagogue,
researcher — as a personage formed, and what role does school play
in the formation process? Do we need to save classical music in
our complicated world, or will the music, on the contrary, help
us to save the world’s beauty? How is the world-acclaimed Saint
Petersburg musical “school” staying alive, and how does it integrate
into the modern artistic-historical context?
The International Conservatoire Week attempts to answer these and
many other questions. Five years — it is our first celebration and
opportunity to make our first reviews…

Five conservatoire festivals equals tens of thousands of listeners,
experts and music lovers, applauding the young and world-acclaimed
musicians; it is hundreds of conservatoire affiliates, students
from Saint Petersburg’s higher institutes of creative education,
musical colleges and schools, attendees at research conferences,
seminars, open lectures, and professors’ master classes.
The Festival is alive and headed for the future…
Best wishes, International Conservatoire Week!
