career as a respected conductor and committed humanitarian. He is
artistic director and principal conductor of the National Philharmonic
of
Russia and president of the Moscow Performing Arts Centre since 2003.
>From 1999 to 2002 Spivakov served as principal conductor of the
Russian National Orchestra. As a chamber and symphony orchestra
conductor, Vladimir Spivakov has appeared in the world's most
important concert venues and has conducted European and American
orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of London, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Cleveland and Budapest, the La Scala Symphony Orchestra,
the orchestra of the Accademia "Santa Cecilia", the Cologne
Philharmonic Orchestra, the French Radio Orchestra as well as all the
leading Russian orchestras.
In 1979 Vladimir Spivakov, together with some of his colleagues who
shared his flair for chamber music, formed a new chamber orchestra
named "Moscow Virtuosi". He has been its artistic director, conductor
and soloist ever since. Maestro Spivakov studied conducting with
Professor Izrail Gusman in Russia. He furthered his skills with a
couple of private lessons from the great Leonard Bernstein in the
United
States. Leonard Bernstein presented him with his own baton as a sign
of his belief in Mr. Spivakov's conducting future. Vladimir Spivakov
is
never separated from this precious gift.
Mr. Spivakov founded the International Colmar Music Festival in France
in 1989, and has been its artistic director until today. Many
prominent musical groups have appeared at the festival during the
sixteen years of its existence as well as great world famous artists
such
as Mstislav Rostropovich, Yehudi Menuhin, Evgeny Svetlanov, Krzysztof
Penderecki, Jose van Dam, Jessye Norman, Robert Hall, Thomas
Quasthoff, Kristian Zimmermann, Michel Plasson, Evgeny Kissin, Vadim
Repin, Nikolay Lugansky, Vladimir Kraynev and Sergey Leiferkus.
Mr. Spivakov has taken part as a jury member in many well-known
international competitions since 1989 (e.g., those of Paris, Genoa,
London, Montreal); he is president of the Sarasate Violin Contest in
Spain. In 2002 he presided over the jury of the Tchaikovsky
International Violin Competition in Moscow. Mr. Spivakov succeeded
Nathan Milstein in leading the very prestigious annual violin master
classes in Zurich in 1994.
