History of the St.Petersburg Conservatory (0 words)
The foundation of the Conservatory crowned the efforts of a group of progressive-minded musicians of the XIX century.
The present building of the Conservatory dates back to the 1890s when the old theatre (called the Bolshoi) was pulled down to give place to a purposebuilt Conservatory.
Loyal to the traditions of its founders and numerous generations of progressive musicians of the home-land, the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St.Petersburg is striving to lofty professional ideals and active propaganda of the world musical culture.
