Alexandra Tikhonova, harp
Alexandra Tikhonova studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Winner of international competitions, including competitions for harpists named after Vera Dulova, named after Petar Konevich (Serbia), “Young Virtuosi” (Bulgaria) and others. Alexandra Tikhonova has performed with the Muscovy orchestras conducted by Eduard Grach, the Russian National Orchestra conducted by Mikhail Pletnev, the Kazan Chamber Orchestra La Primavera conducted by Rustem Abyazov, the Symphony Orchestra of the Glinka Novomoskovsk Music College conducted by Alexander Skudnov.
Arsenty Tkachenko graduated from the Ippolitov-Ivanov State Moscow Pedagogical Institute with a degree in opera and symphony conducting (class of Professor Vladimir Ponkin). Laureate of the III All-Russian Open Competition for Young Conductors named after Ilya Musin (2012). In 2016, he performed for the first time as a stage director, presenting the premiere of Eduard Artemiev's rock opera Crime and Punishment. Since the 2019/20 season – the second conductor of the NPR, since 2022 – deputy artistic director. Collaborates with the “Virtuosi Moskvy” (since the 2021/22 season – a permanent guest conductor), the Masters of Choral Academic Grand Choir, the E. F. Svetlanov State Orchestra of Russia and other ensembles.
Vladimir Spivakov had gathered best Moscow musicians to form a chamber orchestra that became “Virtuosi Moskvy” (“The Moscow Virtuosi”). “It was a constellation of gifted people, and their aura was unique”, the maestro recalls. Nowadays, the musicians don’t know any uncharted territories of the world cultural space. Actually, it’s the only Russian orchestra to release its albums via two prominent record labels, BMG Classics and RCA Red Seal, with either classic or contemporary repertoire. Vladimir Spivakov, an outstanding violinist and conductor, has brightly realized his multi-faceted talent in the music art and in various fields of social life. As violinist, Vladimir Spivakov had passed the brilliant school of Yuri Yankelevich, a famous professor of the Moscow Conservatory. Not less was the impact of his second teacher and idol – David Oistrakh, one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century.
