On February 15, 1895, the first student knocked on the door on which hung the sign “E. and M. Gnessin Music School.” Since then, this day has been considered Gnesinka’s birthday. Thanks to the enthusiasm of five sisters and a brother who devoted themselves to pedagogy, the popularity of the Gnesin school grew. Over time, the school not only acquired state status, but also turned into a conglomerate educational institutions, which includes all three stages music education- primary, secondary and higher. Elena Fabianovna Gnesina headed the educational institutions she created (the last of them was the institute - now the Russian Academy of Music) for a total of 72 years, invariably treating students as members own family. It is no coincidence that everyone who graduates from Gnesinka always feels a special connection with their alma mater and its other students. IN different years educational institutions bearing the name of the Gnessins graduated famous composers, conductors and performers. Here are ten famous names that the Gnessin school gave to the world.

Aram Khachaturian (1903–1978)

Author of the ballet “Spartacus”, “Sabre Dance”, waltz from the music to Lermontov’s drama “Masquerade” and others famous works He began to study music professionally only at the age of 19. At the Gnessin School, which accepted both children and adults, they began to teach him how to play the cello, and then enrolled him in the composition class that had just been created by Mikhail Gnesin, a student of Rimsky-Korsakov. The works that Aram wrote by the end of the second year of study were so vivid that “the question arose about the possibility of their publication.” Two decades later, Aram Ilyich himself became a professor of composition. For many years he taught at the Moscow Conservatory and the Gnesin Institute, giving a start in life to a whole galaxy of famous Russian composers.

Tikhon Khrennikov (1913–2007)

The decisive role in the fate of Tikhon Khrennikov was played by the same Mikhail Gnessin. After graduating from school in his native Yelets, the young man wrote a letter to a famous teacher, asking whether he would become a composer? Mikhail Fabianovich sent a warm response and advised me to enroll in the Gnesinsky Technical School. It was with him that the career of Tikhon Khrennikov began - a musical and public figure, first secretary of the Union of Composers of the USSR (Tikhon Nikolaevich held this position from 1948 to 1991), professor, author of operas, ballets and dozens of hits, including songs from films " The Pig Farmer and the Shepherd”, “Hussar Ballad”, “True Friends” and others. Already being a venerable composer, Khrennikov wrote: “We can say with confidence that two families - the Rubinsteins and the Gnesins - determined the development musical culture, music education in Russia..."

Mikael Tariverdiev (1931–1996)

Mikael Tariverdiev, who wrote four ballets, four operas, organ and chamber opuses, is known in Russia as the author of original soundtracks for the films “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, “The Irony of Fate” and a number of other films. After studying at the Yerevan Conservatory for a year and a half, Tariverdiev entered the State Musical Pedagogical Institute named after. Gnesins. On entrance exam it received a “5+” rating. The young musician was fascinated by the atmosphere of the university. “The attitude towards me is absolutely amazing, they literally carry me in their arms”, he wrote to his father. Mikael Tariverdiev became one of the first students of Aram Khachaturian and, so to speak, the creative grandson of Mikhail Fabianovich Gnessin.

Lyudmila Zykina (1929–2009)

“Queen of Russian Song” Lyudmila Zykina, whose voice among Russians is inextricably linked with the endless expanses of the steppe, white birch trees and the floods of Mother Volga, was one of the most titled and sought-after singers Soviet stage. However, already in mature age, at the peak of her career, the performer decided to get higher education: she wanted not only to sing herself, but also to pass on the art folk song to the younger generation. In 1977, Lyudmila Georgievna graduated from the State Musical and Pedagogical Institute named after. Gnesins. Later, along with concert activities she led and pedagogical work- of course, within the walls of his native Gnesinka.

Vladimir Fedoseev (b. 1932)

An outstanding Russian conductor of world renown, who has been leading one of the best for 42 years Russian orchestras- Big Symphony Orchestra named after. P.I. Tchaikovsky, Vladimir Fedoseev began his creative path like an accordion player. He graduated from the Gnessin Institute in the accordion class in 1957, and then led the orchestra folk instruments. According to the maestro, the label of “populist”, a second-class musician, poisoned his life in the conducting profession for many years, but he never regretted his first specialty: "IN folk music everything is there, everything was grown in her. It is wrong to go past it. So this is my wealth, my right line.".

Joseph Kobzon (1937-2018)

The lyrical-dramatic baritone and noble performing style of Joseph Kobzon were formed back in the 70s and were his signature style, recognizable from the very first notes. For many years, his repertoire remained unchanged, the peaks of which were the songs “Moments”, “Victory Day”, “Let us bow to those great years”. Already a laureate All-Russian competition pop artists and a participant in the most popular television program in the Soviet Union, “Song of the Year,” he completed his education at the Gnesin Institute in academic vocal class. Since 1984, he himself began teaching pop vocals at Gnesinka. Among its graduates are Irina Otieva and Valeria.

David Tukhmanov (b. 1940)

Composer David Tukhmanov has been associated with the Gnessin music and educational system since childhood. At the Gnessin ten-year school he studied piano. Elena Fabianovna Gnesina then took part in the fate of the talented boy, encouraging his desire to compose music. After graduating from school, he entered the composition department of the Gnesin Institute, from which he graduated in 1963. At the same time, Tukhmanov began working in the genre of pop songs - as an official patriotic orientation (“My Motherland”, “My address is Soviet Union", "Victory Day"), and of a lyrical nature ("Nightingale Grove", "These eyes opposite"). And his concept album “In the Wave of My Memory” became a classic of Russian rock art.

Alexander Gradsky (b. 1949)

Singer, composer and irreplaceable mentor of young performers in the television project “The Voice”, Alexander Gradsky graduated from the Faculty solo singing Gnessin Institute, and then improved his vocal skills at the Conservatory. Academic training became the trademark of one of the first Soviet rock singers and allowed him to perform a wide variety of repertoire, including classics (in Bolshoi Theater he sang the role of the Astrologer in the production of the opera “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” by Rimsky-Korsakov). The singer did not part with Gnesinka for many years: Alexander Borisovich Gradsky taught at the school, and then at the institute.

Lyubov Kazarnovskaya (b. 1956)

An opera diva who conquered the world's leading theaters, school years and didn't think about vocal career. She was going to become a philologist, but unexpectedly for everyone she applied to the Gnessin Institute and entered the acting department musical theater. In what she's meant to be opera singer, she was convinced right here. The young performer completed her academic education at the Moscow Conservatory, but she always remembered and remembers her dear Gnesinka with nostalgia - after all, her first successes, disappointments and hopes were associated with her.

Evgeny Kisin (b. 1971)

"Mozart of the 20th century." Journalists and enthusiastic fans awarded this epithet to young Zhenya Kissin. A child prodigy with phenomenal abilities began performing very early and at the age of 14 he was already going on concert tours. By the age of 19 he had reached the top musical Olympus and today he is one of the most original and sought-after pianists of our time. He began studying music at the Gnessin ten-year school with Anna Pavlovna Kantor, who remained his only teacher for the rest of his life. And although Evgeny Kissin left Russia in the early 90s, the musician did not forget Gnesinka. When in 2006, the protracted restoration of the school building threatened to turn into a raider takeover, Kissin signed a letter to the President of the Russian Federation in its defense. The result was an order to complete the repairs as soon as possible.

Russian Academy of Music named after. Gnesins (RAM named after Gnessins) owes its origin to the Gnessin sisters: five Gnessin sisters Olga, Elena, Evgenia, Maria, Elizaveta (daughters of Rabbi Fabian Osipovich Gnessin from Rostov-on-Don) opened their own private music school February 15, 1895-It was on this day that the first student came to them.

In 1919, the school became a state school, without changing the principles of its work and organization. One of the brothers actively helped the sisters - outstanding composer, student of Rimsky-Korsakov Mikhail Gnessin. He opened the department of composition and music theory. And the permanent head of the educational institution for 72 years (!) was Elena Fabianovna Gnesina(died in 1967 at the age of 93).

The Gnessins' educational institution was constantly growing, dividing into a school and a college; over time, more and more new departments appeared, and the old premises became insufficient.

Once upon a time, the Gnessins’ “Music School” was located in a small one-story wooden house on Gagarinsky Lane, where the sisters lived. Then I had to take it off wooden mansion on Sobachaya Ploshchadka, 5, where the whole family moved and where they lived for more than half a century (the sisters always lived where they worked). Almost all prominent figures of the Silver Age visited this Gnessin house.

During Elena Fabianovna’s lifetime, the buildings on Sobachaya Square and this square itself were demolished during the construction of New Arbat in 1962. Fortunately, construction began already in 1937 big building on Povarskaya Street (then Vorovsky Street) for the Gnesinsky Plant. Interrupted by the war, it resumed in 1943. Its main part was completed in 1946, becoming the first building built in the center of Moscow specifically for the university. In 1950, the educational building was expanded, and in 1958 it was built Concert hall, the author of the project was the architect A.V. Tishin.

From the first days of the KZ’s work, the tradition of university students and teachers performing on its stage was laid. Lev Oborin performed at the first concert, and Academy graduate Evgeny Svetlanov took part in subsequent concerts. Many works were performed here for the first time: “Le Noces” by I. Stravinsky, the composition “Eugene Onegin” with music by S. S. Prokofiev, the Russian premiere of Haydn’s opera “Orpheus and Eurydice” (“The Soul of a Philosopher”). Outstanding singers and performers, such as Svyatoslav Richter, performed in this hall. On January 24, 1964, a meeting with Yuri Gagarin took place there.

The hall has a total of 503 seats, three concert grand pianos (two Steinways and a Yamaha) and a Macken electric organ. The acoustics and equipment of the hall allow any concerts and performances to be held here, especially operas.

Operating since 1976 Opera house-studio, organized Yuri Speransky(1929 – 2014) – professor, head of the department of opera training at the Russian Academy of Music. All productions of the studio theatre, and there were more than 30 of them, starting from the very first performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, were famous for their independent reading and deep penetration into musical dramaturgy.

By all accounts, all the music that sounds here is real, living art.

In 2004, on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of E.F. Gnessina, in front of the KZ RAM, a monument was unveiled in her honor.

The concert hall of the Gnessin State Musical and Pedagogical Institute (as the Academy was called until 1992) was opened on November 21, 1958.

The history of the construction of the hall of the largest music university was quite complex and lengthy. Back in 1936, the project for the new building of the Gnessin Music College and School was approved (there was no institute yet - it arose in 1944 as the highest level full complex music education). The author of the project was the architect A.V. Tishin. It involved the construction of a hall with 500 seats and designs for the interiors of the hall, stage, etc. were developed. Construction of the building began in 1937. Thanks to the incredible energy and perseverance of El. F. Gnesina, who constantly appealed to the highest authorities, construction continued successfully until the start of the war, but after that it was frozen.

In 1943, Gnesina sought to resume construction. The construction had to be carried out with great difficulty - there was a war, no workers, materials, or financial resources were allocated. With the creation of the Gnessin Institute (GMPI) in 1944 and the planned opening of a ten-year Special Music School, the Gnessin Combine arose, consisting of four educational institutions of all levels of music education. The building was urgently needed. Director - El. F. Gnessin - continuously submitted petitions regarding construction (she wrote to V.M. Molotov alone at least seven times). Its pace was slowing down all the time, and Gnesina had to make enormous efforts to speed up construction. In this regard, it was decided to split the construction into three stages. The last one was the Concert Hall, and its construction was postponed. In 1946, the main part of the building (the first stage) was completed. The institute and the entire “music plant” grew rapidly. Many large educational groups appeared - choirs, orchestras, and opera class performances took place. The problem of training groups was constantly getting worse, and for each concert it was necessary to rent halls (after all, the Institute only had a Small Hall). The lack of their own hall significantly slowed down the entire work of educational institutions.

In 1954, taking advantage of a suitable situation (awarding the Order of Lenin in connection with the 80th anniversary), El. F. Gnesina resumes active attempts to achieve the construction of the hall. She turns to the then head of government G.M. Malenkov, then to other bosses (Chairman of the Moscow City Executive Committee) with persistent requests. As a result, in 1956 a new hall was laid. After construction began, the original design of its interior was changed at the insistence of a major expert in acoustics, Professor S.P. Alekseev. Construction still did not progress fast enough, and students, teachers and employees of the Institute constantly provided assistance to the builders. “Subbotniks” were organized - this happened especially actively at the final stage of construction. Ate. F. Gnesina supervised the entire construction - she chose the materials herself (for example, she several times refused the proposed options for a large chandelier and demanded the installation of chairs from the best varieties of Karelian birch). All work was directed by the director of the Institute, Yu. V. Muromtsev. The opening of a new hall in Moscow was widely covered in the newspapers.

It was assumed that the capabilities of the hall's stage would be universal: large groups could perform here, opera performances could be staged (for which the orchestra pit was made) - this gave special value to the hall. The installation of an organ was also planned (it was even ordered and manufactured). But during the initial calculations, they could not find a solution in which both the organ and the orchestra pit could be installed at the same time, and organs in the hall appeared only many years later - in 1995.

Many famous Gnesin performers, including Lev Oborin, performed at the gala concert dedicated to the opening of the hall. The symphony orchestra of students of the institute under the direction of O. M. Agarkov performed a specially written “ Solemn overture"Composer F. E. Vitacek.

After this, several more gala concerts took place. One of them was conducted by Evgeny Svetlanov - three piano concertos by Rachmaninov were performed.

Almost from the very beginning of the hall's existence, student opera performances began to take place here. The first of these was Mozart's Don Giovanni. The hall stage provided the opportunity for a full-fledged stage version of the performance - with scenery and full orchestral accompaniment. The result of the work on preparing performances and opera excerpts with students was the creation of the Institute’s Opera Studio. It opened in 1976 with Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro (the studio received official status in 1978) and began presenting regular performances throughout the season.

The permanent head of the studio is Yu. A. Speransky: thanks to his enthusiasm, it quickly turned into real theater, gained great popularity and began to conduct numerous educational cycles for children. Over the years of work Opera House-Studio 30 premieres were prepared.

The teachers of the Institute immediately developed a series of concerts and subscriptions, and special meaning given to educational concerts. In such thematic concerts (and concert cycles), musicologists gave opening remarks. In the first years, a lecture hall was equipped directly next to the hall (on the third floor), in which, before the start of the subscription cycle concerts, a musicologist gave a short lecture to the audience with a short lecture on the upcoming program. Up to 20 such subscription cycles were held annually in the hall, where teachers and students of the university performed.

In addition to concerts organized by Gnesin residents (guest musicians were often invited), from the very beginning the hall was used by other organizations. Two concert organizations, in Soviet time the former “monopoly” in Moscow - the Moscow Philharmonic and Moskontsert - constantly held chamber, symphonic, and choral concerts in the Gnessin Hall.

The hall for music schools in Moscow turned out to be especially attractive. Opportunity to perform in both orchestral and choir groups, and soloists on the big stage were used by almost all musical educational institutions in Moscow - and not only in Moscow. For many, the main reporting concert of the year (or even the anniversary one) was the concert in the Gnessin Concert Hall. Of course, the Gnessin schools performed here especially often (a tradition that took place until the mid-1970s is being resumed again at the beginning of the 21st century - these are joint concerts of all representatives of the Gnesin complex).

Of course, over half a century the hall has hosted so many memorable concerts and music festivals that any selective listing of them is absolutely impossible. All the outstanding musicians who worked in educational institutions named after the Gnessins performed here. Their anniversary creative evenings were often held here. There were many premieres: for example, Maria Yudina, for the first time in the country, performed here with her partners Bartok’s Sonata for two pianos and percussion, whole line The premiere was performed here by the Madrigal ensemble. Many of Stravinsky’s works were performed for the first time (including Le Noces, forgotten for many years). Gala concert to the 100th anniversary of the birth of El. F. Gnessina in 1974 included the first performance of the composition “Eugene Onegin” with music by Prokofiev. Here, for the first time, almost all of Webern’s works (for his centenary), “The Unknown Rachmaninoff,” and evenings of 20th-century music were performed in one concert. The Russian premiere of Haydn's opera Orpheus and Eurydice (The Soul of a Philosopher) took place here in 1995 under the direction of J. Boning and under the patronage of those present at the concert legendary singer J. Sutherland. It is impossible not to recall, even in such a cursory sketch, the repeated performances in the hall of Svyatoslav Richter - his solo concert in 1966 he specially dedicated it to the memory of Olga Fabianovna Alexandrova-Gnessina.

Big festive events were the 90th birthday of Elena Fabianovna Gnessina (1964) - numerous “stars” of music came to congratulate her; 25th anniversary of the Gnessin Institute (1969), 50th anniversary of the Academy (1994), when E.F. Svetlanov, a graduate of the university, conducted the student orchestra; 60th anniversary of the Academy and 130th anniversary of El. F. Gnessina, when the monument to the founder and permanent head of the Gnessin educational institutions was unveiled in front of the entrance to the hall. Major events in the life of the university - from annual meetings on the occasion of the new school year, all kinds of exams and before historical meetings with outstanding people- pass here. On January 24, 1964, a meeting took place in the hall with one of the most famous people planets - Yuri Gagarin.

The most important change in the life of the hall occurred in 1995. On the initiative of organist A. V. Fiseysky, two large electric organs were ordered - in Holland and in England. One of them was donated by the Academy, the other was purchased by the city government. Grand opening organ ceremony took place on October 25, and the hall became the only one in Moscow where two organs were installed. One of the first organ evenings was the concert of Irina Arkhipova with Oleg Yanchenko, which became a big event.
