Today, Denis Matsuev is arguably the symbol of Russian piano school, with its great traditions, highest concert standards, conceptual novelties, and deepness of interpretations. Career-wise, Matsuev was a quick starter. In 1998, he won the 9th Tchaikovsky Contest in Moscow. Today, Denis Matsuev is a darling of the prestigious venues of the world, and is a constant partner of leading symphony orchestras. Despite being so extremely popular abroad, his priority task is developing and promoting philharmonic art here in this country. To this end, the large part of his concert programmes – and premieres – are being performed in his motherland. The musician takes part in world-famous festivals, and he is either director of or inspiration for the few music forums and educational projects. He took responsibility for the work of the interregional charity fund “Noviye Imena n.a. I.N.Voronova” – he himself was its disciple, and now he’s the president of the institution.

Alexander Ramm is one of the most in-demand cellists of his generation. In Tchaikovsky Contest in Moscow, he was awarded Silver Medal in 2015. He is the winner of the Beijing International Competition, and 1st All-Russia Music Contest. Ramm is the first and only Russian to become a laureate of Helsinki’s Paulo Cello Competition (2013), one of the most prestigious cello contests of the world. The musician tours the greatest venues, and collaborates with leading orchestras and famous conductors. He participated in festivals and clinics of Courchevel Academy, as well as Holland Music Sessions, while also honing his playing skills in Verbier youth academy. Since 2011, he takes part in Moscow Philharmonic concerts, and is a permanent participant of the project “21st Century Stars”. In 2012, he became a soloist of St. Petersburg House of Music. In 2018, his solo album with complete cello suites solo by Britten was released by “Melodia” label to great critical acclaim in Russia and abroad.

Ghaik Kazazyan, one of the most perspective young violinists of his generation, studied with professor E. Gratch in Moscow Gnessin music school than in Moscow P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory and after graduation continued education at Royal College of Music in London. His concerts are held in such famous halls as Carnegie Hall in New York, Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Victoria Hall in Geneva, Barbican Hall and Wigmore Hall in London
