Tikhon student of the “Moscow State Budgetary Educational Institution A.S. Dargomyzhsky” in the class of Igor Titov and twice became the absolute winner in the cello nomination and a participant in the Masters Final (2018, 2020). During the existence of our competition, since 2010, in all nominations (more than 30), only one other participant had such an achievement – Gidashevskaya Marta (violin) from Poland!

According to оур tradition, the organizer of the competition distributed the prize fund, awarded Tikhon and helped to take part in the XIV Winter International Festival of Arts in Sochi, which was held from 18 to 28 February 2021, organized by the artistic director Yuri Bashmet

Winter International Arts Festival in Sochi

This music academy has been running for 14 years by an outstanding Russian musician Yuri Bashmet, and every year he invites famous teachers who work with talented young performers from different cities and regions.

Jens Peter Mainz, professor at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Reina Sofia School of Music in Madrid, worked with Tikhon.

This year, everything was very careful! Everyone was wearing masks, they didn’t take any general photos either, because prof. Jens Peter Maintz asked everyone to keep their distance and wear masks.

 

Tikhon hopes that the borders will be opened by summer and will meet with the master again at the festival in Ljubljana. Maintz is one of the best teachers in the world and Tikhon wants to study with him in the future.

From the beach you can see the peaks of the mountains, constantly covered with snow. In the city itself, tropical vegetation is noticeable. There are many parks and architecture in the city and it is really a fantastic place!
