KZ RAM im. Gnesins. Concert Hall of the Russian Academy of Music named after. Gnessins: description, history, program and interesting facts

About the university

The beginning long history creation and formation large complex educational institutions named after the Gnesins is February 15, 1895 - it was on this day that the first student came to the “Music School of E. and M. Gnesins,” one of the small private music educational institutions that were actively opening at that time in Moscow. Since then, this day has been celebrated as traditional holiday Gnesin residents - all students of educational institutions for many generations.
Like other private schools, this school was founded by graduates of the Moscow Conservatory: its two leaders, sisters Evgenia and Elena Gnessin, were students of the director of the conservatory, the largest organizer and teacher-pianist V.I. Safonov. The principles of education formed at that time at the conservatory formed the basis for the work of the school (at that time it was a single educational institution for children and adults, without the now usual division into college and school).

The school's popularity and authority grew rapidly. Five Gnessin sisters, who were enthusiasts of their work and devoted their entire lives to music pedagogy, lived their entire lives in the same house where their brainchild was located, and the atmosphere of the hospitable home invariably attracted both students and colleagues. Students who studied during the most brilliant period in the history of the conservatory, living surrounded by artists Silver Age, they invariably strived for the highest professional level that would meet the criteria of their teachers and friends - the most outstanding musicians of their era. The largest musicians paid great attention to the work of the Gnessin School, providing them with great support, and some - R.M. Glier, A.T. Grechaninov, E.A. Bekman-Shcherbina - became teachers of the young educational institution. Already in the pre-revolutionary period, the Gnessin school won the highest reputation and stood out for a number of important pedagogical undertakings, the most famous of which was the creation of the first children's school choir in Moscow.

Elena Fabianovna Gnesina, being the founder and permanent head of educational institutions (in total, she headed them for 72 years!), thanks to her unyielding will, inexhaustible energy and dedication, managed to maintain and constantly expand the scale of educational institutions at the sharpest turns of history. In 1919, the school became a state school, without, however, changing the principles of its work and organization (in 1920, in accordance with state program, the educational institution was divided into a children's school and a technical school with a single leadership). In 1923, the Gnessins’ brother, a student of Rimsky-Korsakov, outstanding composer Mikhail Gnesin - created the department of composition and music theory. The growth in the number and level of students soon made the Gnessin College-Technical School one of the best secondary educational institutions in the all-Union, training the best personnel for the conservatory. This led to the decision to create a new music university, and El. F. Gnesina, despite the resistance that arose at first (doubts about the need for a second music university in Moscow), began to strive for the implementation of this idea in the most decisive manner.

In March 1944, a government decree was adopted on the organization of the Gnessin State Musical and Pedagogical Institute. In 1946, a special department was opened at the institute music school-ten-year school, and a complex of four educational institutions was formed - an institute, a college, a special school and a seven-year children's school - still headed by El.F. Gnesina. The need for a broad supply of the country, first of all, with pedagogical musical personnel gave rise to numerous initiatives that were very promising: correspondence and evening forms of education were developed and actively developed (opened in 1948), and at the same time numerous teaching aids(including sound) and methodological programs, various technical teaching aids were invented. Compared to conservatories, the Gnessin State Musical Pedagogical Institute has become more in-depth with training courses in pedagogical practice and teaching methods.

Initially, the university had four faculties: piano, orchestral, vocal and historical-theoretical-composition - they included eight departments. From the very beginning, the most outstanding musicians of their time worked here: among them G.G. Neuhaus, M.V. Yudina, L.N. Oborin, T.D. Gutman, V.V. Borisovsky, S.M. Kozolupov, K.A. Erdeli, M.F. Gnessin, N.I. Speransky, M.I. Tabakov, N.I. Platonov, V.E. Ferman, V.D. Konen, N.A. Garbuzov... The first deans of the faculties were, respectively, A.N. Yurovsky, A.K. Vlasov, N.A. Verbova and S.S. Skrebkov. In 1946, the famous choirmaster K.B. Ptitsa organized and headed the conducting and choral faculty, and two years later, for the first time in the history of higher education, the faculty was founded folk instruments(its first leader was A.S. Ilyukhin). The number of students at the institute is steadily growing, the university is quickly gaining the authority of one of the largest music and educational centers in the country, along with the Moscow and Leningrad (St. Petersburg) Conservatoires.

New departments emerge, a number of student groups appear - symphony, Russian folk, and then chamber orchestras, an academic choir, opera performances are regularly staged (which led to the creation of a permanent opera studio in 1978). In the 1950s, departments of opera training and chamber ensemble were created (its first head was pianist A.D. Gottlieb), in the 1960s - a number of new departments, including orchestral conducting (founder - S.Z. Trubachev), pedagogy and methodology. In 1966, at the conducting and choral faculty - again for the first time - a conducting department was opened folk choir(where a student choral group was also formed). In the 1970s - 1980s, innovations continued to open new musical specialties: these were the established departments of solo folk singing(its creation was initiated in 1978 by the director of the Northern Russian Choir N.K. Meshko), musical art variety (1984), sound engineering (1987).

From the very beginning of the institute’s existence, they were actively creating scientific works, and since 1959 there has been an editorial and publishing department that has published more than 500 printed publications. There were also educational and scientific laboratories: folk music (founder - V.I. Kharkov), musical and technical teaching aids (founder - P.V. Lobanov), physiology of phonation (directors - L.B. Dmitriev and V.L. Chaplin ). In the postgraduate school, opened in 1948, the number of postgraduate students quickly grew, and dissertations were defended (since 1970, assistantship-internships have been available for performing specialties). In organizing scientific work at the university, great credit belongs to the first vice-rector for scientific work(1959-70) A.A. Ikonnikov (in 1975-85 this post was held by F.G. Arzamanov).

By curriculum The Gnessin State Musical Pedagogical Institute developed programs for several new music universities. In 1961, a branch (educational and advisory center at the correspondence department) of the institute was opened in Ufa, where its teachers and students worked (in 1968, an independent art institute was created on its basis). In the work of the correspondence department, as well as in the organization of the branch, the first vice-rector for correspondence and evening studies V.I. played a major role. Avratiner.

While maintaining priorities special attention to pedagogy and methodology, the scope of diverse scientific activity at the university (including numerous conferences) and the development of new directions caused the transformation of the Department of Pedagogy and Methodology into a new department in 1987 modern problems music education and culture, and in 1993 - the folk music laboratory into a problematic research laboratory for the study of traditional musical cultures. The concert activities of students and teachers were becoming increasingly widespread: new groups were constantly emerging (such as a brass band and an accordion orchestra, chamber, folk, and jazz ensembles), a large concert and educational work was being carried out, covering a vast geography, and a number of constantly touring groups were working (for example , Chamber orchestra under the direction of G.S. Talalyan and O.M. Agarkov in 1962-87), the opera studio gave performances as a stationary theater, and regularly held its own festivals. Consultative assistance to numerous educational institutions of the country, supervision of the work of a number of music schools, conducting seminars and courses at the Faculty of Advanced Training was and remains constant. By the turn of the 1980s - 1990s, the Gnesins State Musical Pedagogical Institute became the largest music and educational center in Russia. Therefore, it was completely justified to transform the institute in 1992 into the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music - for the first time in the country, a music university received such a status.

As this happened throughout the history of the university, in recent years, in accordance with the trends of the times, new specialties and forms of education are opening: thus, the department of music management (since 2005 - the production department), the department of computer music, computer science and acoustics have been created. In 2002, a new branch of the academy was opened in Khanty-Mansiysk.

Many luminaries of Russian music worked in the Gnesins GMPI-RAM in the past: People's Artists of the USSR and Russia A.I. Khachaturyan, Y.V. Flier, B.A. Pokrovsky, A.V. Rybnov, B.A. Tchaikovsky, M.O. Reisen, A.A. Yurlov (head of the department of choral conducting), Ya.P. Alexandrov, M.I. Fikhtengolts, N.D. Shpiller, P.M. Nortsov, N.I. Peiko, G.A. Turkina, A.B. Khazanov, famous performers - M.I. Grinberg, V.L. Kubatsky, A.I. Vedernikov, V.S. Loktev, doctors of art history A I. Yampolsky, S. E. Feinberg, E. V. Gippius, Yu. N. Tyulin, V. P. Bobrovsky, A. D. Alekseev - this list can be continued for a long time. If in the first years the young teachers who worked together with the luminaries were mainly graduates of the conservatory, then later, especially since the 1960s, the replenishment mostly came from students of the university itself.
Project of a building on Vorovskogo Street (now Povarskaya). Architect A.V. Tishin, 1937

The Gnessin Institute began its work in the same houses on Sobachaya Square, where the Gnessin College and School were located for almost half a century (they were demolished during the construction of New Arbat). Construction began in 1937 big building on Povarskaya Street (then Vorovskogo) for the Gnesinsky “music plant”. Interrupted by the war, it resumed in 1943. The main part of the building was built 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. Subsequently, two Gnessin schools received their own buildings, and in 1974 a new building was built for the school next to the institute. Having received the entire building on Povarskaya, in 1989 the institute also opened classes and a chamber hall - a “musical living room” - in the renovated neighboring “Shuvalova House”.
Memorial museum-apartment of El.F.Gnesina at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. In Elena Fabianovna's office

The permanent head of the institute until the end of her life was Elena Fabianovna Gnesina (in 1944-53 she served as director, and in 1953-67 as artistic director, in 1944-58 she also headed the department of special piano). Being a living embodiment of great musical traditions, she managed to rally musicians of several generations around her. In organizing construction, forming structures and forms of education, El.F. Gnessina’s closest assistant was her student, conductor, professor of the department of opera training Yu.V. Muromtsev, who was initially her deputy, and in 1953-70 - the rector of the institute. In 1979-99, there was a significant expansion of the university’s activities, the opening of many new departments, which ultimately ensured the transition to the status of an academy. During these years (with a short break), the leadership was headed by S.M. Kolobkov, a graduate of the first graduating class of the Faculty of Folk Instruments (he also headed the Department of Folk Instruments, orchestral groups, and was vice-rector for educational work, now - head. Department of Orchestral Conducting). Since 2000, the rector of the academy is pianist M.N. Sayamov (since 1982 he headed the correspondence and evening departments of the university).

In total, over the years of its existence, the university has graduated more than 12 thousand specialists, amounting to 56 graduates. Graduates of the institute quickly won leading positions in musical organizations throughout the country, and then abroad. More and more Gnesin students and graduates won laureate titles at competitions and performed on concert stages around the world. Many became leaders of famous groups, leading soloists of major opera houses. Among them are the most famous musical names V different genres, for example, Z. Dolukhanova, E. Svetlanov, M. Tariverdiev, V. Fedoseev, T. Dokshitser, L. Zykina, K. Ivanov, E. Kisin, Y. Kazakov, I. Kobzon, N. Nekrasov, A. Rudin , V. Dashkevich, D. Tukhmanov and many others. A whole series The now famous choirs, orchestras, and ensembles came from the student groups of the institute-academy - this is the Moscow Chamber Choir under the direction of V. Minin, folklore ensemble under the direction of D. Pokrovsky, the chamber orchestra “Russian Camerata”, the boys’ choir under the direction of V. Sudakov and others.

In recent years, the Academy has been increasingly developing international contacts: professors are constantly visiting with master classes and lectures, many students come for a full course of study or internship from different countries.

On February 15, 1895, the first student knocked on the door on which hung the sign “Music School of E. and M. Gnessins.” 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 of educational institutions, including all three levels of 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 of her 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)

The author of the ballet “Spartacus”, “Sabre Dance”, the waltz from the music to Lermontov’s drama “Masquerade” and other famous works 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 Gnessins - 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 the entrance exam he received a grade of “5+”. 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 of the Soviet stage. Nevertheless, already in adulthood, 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 also carried out teaching work - of course, within the walls of her native Gnesinka.

Vladimir Fedoseev (b. 1932)

An outstanding Russian conductor with a worldwide reputation, for 42 years now he has been heading one of the best Russian orchestras - the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. P.I. Tchaikovsky, Vladimir Fedoseev began his creative path like an accordion player. He graduated from the Gnesin Institute in the accordion class in 1957, and then led an orchestra of 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 vocals. Since 1984, he himself began teaching at Gnesinka pop vocals. 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 Gnessin 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 a 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 a 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.

Teachers of RAM named after. The Gnesins wrote an open letter to the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky. The document was published on the university website.

The letter confirms the faithfulness of the intention of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education to translate music lessons in special schools (such as the Gnesins Moscow Secondary School of Music, the Central Music School at the Moscow State Conservatory named after P. I. Tchaikovsky and others) as an elective during the period of teaching children from first to fourth grade. Thus, from the point of view of a number of professors of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, it is worth teaching children music professionally only starting from the fifth grade.

Next week the site will publish exclusive interview Director of MSSMSH named after. Gnesins Mikhail Khokhlov on this topic.

Below is the text of an open letter from teachers of the Russian Academy of Music named after. Gnesins.

To the Minister of Culture Russian Federation
V. R. Medinsky

Dear Vladimir Rostislavovich!

We were prompted to contact you by the funds that appeared mass media speeches on music education. These speeches acquire a rather aggressive character and at the same time indicate a lack of competence in the field of legislation of some individuals who are capable of influencing the opinions of both the musical community and government officials.

We consider it necessary to inform you about the existing discussion field.

After reading the article, there is indignation at its speculative format, since the article talks about “music schools” and makes a statement about the destruction of “ initial system preparation of students of music schools,” which immediately makes one think about the fate of almost five thousand art schools, while the problem raised concerns only a few schools, which were always called “secondary specialized music schools” (11-year schools), the importance of which cannot be overestimated, always being elite and teaching especially gifted children.

What is this - incorrectness or a cheap trick to win over even those who are not used to delving into the intricacies of the problems being discussed?

Opinions expressed both in this article and at the press conference (on the same issue), held on December 2, 2014 in the press center news agency « National service news” press conference on the topic: “The Ministry of Education against gifted children or Why is Russia being deprived of a full-fledged musical education?” cause far ambiguous attitudes and not shared by all musicians.

As for primary music education (the first stage of music education), it, as before, can be obtained at the Children's Art School (thanks to the Russian Ministry of Culture for preserving them). The next two levels are still functioning – secondary and higher education. The three-stage structure of domestic music education has been preserved.

On education in secondary specialized music schools (SSMS).

More recently (until 2003), these institutions were ordinary secondary schools, in which ordinary school programs musical items were added. Thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, a standard of secondary vocational education was developed and put into effect for these institutions (2004), thanks to which graduates began to receive a diploma of secondary vocational education upon completion rather than a certificate. Currently, secondary specialized music schools implement the 2011 standard of secondary vocational education with a training period of 10 years and 10 months. At the same time, children also master general education subjects.

Yes, the new Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” imposes new requirements on the structure of the education system. But they make it possible to preserve the content of the education that exists today in secondary specialized music schools.

About primary music education, which can be obtained without any prejudice in secondary specialized institutions.

The Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” (Part 11 of Article 83) specifically for such institutions for gifted children in the field of arts in the primary general education program (i.e. from grades 1 to 4) obliges the federal state educational standard to provide for “requirements for ensuring conditions for students to acquire knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of the chosen type of art, experience creative activity and preparing students for professional education in the field of arts.” A clock is provided for this as standard. ( Currently, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science is making these changes to the standard of primary general education, which will ensure the existence musical items not at all "on bird's rights").

On secondary professional music education in secondary specialized institutions.

Part 9 of Article 83 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” for the education of gifted children from the 5th grade (after completion of the primary general education program - grades 1-4) provides for integrated educational programs that integrate: programs of basic general education (5- 9 grades), secondary general education (grades 10-11) - with a program of secondary vocational music education - from grades 5 to 11. Hence the period of study for this integrated program, which is 6 years 10 months.

What exactly does the draft Federal State Educational Standard for secondary vocational education in the specialty 53.02.03 instrumental performance (by type of instrument) with a training period of 6 years and 10 months provide, developed in accordance with the legislation?

1. Allows you to make selections, regulated by educational organization, not only to the first level of education (1st grade), but also to the next (5th grade), which in to a greater extent protects the child’s right to choose a profession at a more conscious age (not at 6-7, but at 10 years of age), and educational organization provides additional opportunities to form a student population not only in the first grade, but also in subsequent ones, for example, accepting gifted children from other regions.

2. Set the content at the discretion of the educational organization itself educational program both the level of secondary vocational education, integrated with basic general and secondary general education, and the level of primary general education, which, while remaining de jure primary general education, is de facto primary musical education(due to the musical component determined by the educational organization).

The above arguments in favor of the said standard are not so much the opinion of the authors of this letter as a statement of objectively existing favorable conditions for the education of gifted children, reflected in current legislation. They are so obvious that it is simply impossible not to notice them. It seems (especially based on some of the statements at the said press conference) that the purpose of the speeches in the article and at the press conference in in this case is not the federal state educational standard, but something else.

We are glad that our position is shared by the leaders and representatives of the Novosibirsk, Rostov, Petrozavodsk, Ural Conservatories, the Ufa Academy of Arts named after Zagir Ismagilov, the Krasnoyarsk Academy of Music and Theater, to whom we express our gratitude for their cooperation.
