Chamber Ensemble "Soloists of St. Petersburg"
The performance of one of the best ensembles in the city will feature masterpieces of Russian and Western European music. Artistic Director - People’s Artist of Russia Mikhail Ganvarg.

The chamber ensemble "Soloists of St. Petersburg" was born in 1987 as a creative community of talented musicians - young in age, but who nevertheless had considerable experience and success by that time both in the field of solo and ensemble concert performance, and in activities in leading St. Petersburg symphony and chamber orchestras.

Mikhail Gantvarg, a leading St. Petersburg violinist over the past decades, is a very prominent and peculiar figure in the musical life of St. Petersburg. By the time the ensemble “Soloists of St. Petersburg” was created, Mikhail Gantvarg was a well-known and well-formed musician with his principled creative worldview and performing style. Being today one of the successors and “heirs” of the legendary St. Petersburg violin school, he seeks to carefully preserve its best traditions, but at the same time, constantly in creative pursuits, often comes to very bold and non-standard, and sometimes paradoxical, performing decisions.

Mikhail Gantvarg constantly realizes his basic creative principles with his fellow musicians of the ensemble “Soloists of St. Petersburg”, introducing him as an integral and unified creative organism that is sensitive to any manifestations of the performing will of his leader.
