INNA SHEGAY Comments in nomination “Chamber ensemble“

I was trying to be objective and not too rigorous, as I understand how much is music a serious work! General level is high, if we consider that many of children are not professionals, but are engaged in music with love! I am gratitude to all children and theirs pedagogues, who are giving a lot of strength, time and soul on playing music!!!

ALEXEY RALO Comments in nomination “Percussion”

All ratings are high, because a level of competitors is very good. It is very difficult for me to single out any of them, as they are practically equally good. I want to notice not only the work of competitors, but also the work of their pedagogues and concertmasters. I like work of Knyazeva V. Well done! He has exhibited his class very good. Verishko Andrey has presented an contemporary program from N. Zhivkovich’s piece, who is very popular modern percussion composer. Pushnoy Yuriy has performed by himself and also has presented his students. This is very good quality for pedagogue. His class has great prospect.

I am very pleased to evaluate talented people and their work. If you have any question for me, send it to my e-mail. This is the essential principle of all European prestigious international contests, when a member of jury can explain all his arguments in evaluating competitors.

Their love for instrument can be heard from every tone and I want to congratulate to all contestants and their professors and accompanists on effort and dedication to music.
