Ural Conservatory named after M.P. Mussorgsky

The formation of the university: 1934-1940

The first teaching staff of the Sverdlovsk State Conservatory consisted of representatives of all conservatories opened in the 19th and early 20th centuries at the branches of the Russian Musical Society: Petersburg , Moscow , Kiev , Odessa , Saratov , Tiflis . Director of SGK M.P. Frolov was educated in Kiev and in Petrograd / Leningrad. The Moscow Conservatory in the person of its director, pianist G. G. Neigauz , who sent his graduates B. S. Marants and S. S. Benditsky to Sverdlovsk, took patronage over the new university. In 1934 branches and departments of a special piano were opened, vocal, orchestral. In 1935-36, there were departments of musical education (since 1938 musical and pedagogical), composer, historical and theoretical. In 1938 the department of theory, history of music and composition was formed. These structures were headed by: composer and pianist M.P. Frolov (student R.M. Glier and I.S. Miklashevskaya), vocalist E. E. Egorov (student V.M. Zarudnoy ), violinist M.I. (student of L. S. Auer ), teacher-methodologist O. A. Apraksin (was sent to the SGK from the Moscow Conservatory for distribution). In 1935 S.S. Prokofiev visited the conservatory: the hall in which he performed now bears his name. The first student orchestra was formed by M.I. Paverman (a student of K. S. Sarajev ). In 1939, the department of opera training was organized, headed by B. S. Veprinsky, then A. V. Novikov; Learning to play folk instruments began under the guidance of V.V. Znamensky . In the spring of 1939, the Sverdlovsk branch of the Union of Composers of the USSR was opened (now the Union of Composers of the Sverdlovsk Region). Its creative core was composed of teachers (M.P. Frolov, V.N. Trambitsky , V.I. Shchelokov and others) and graduates of the conservatory. D. D. Shostakovich got acquainted with their writings in the same year. In honor of the first issue and in connection with the centenary of the birth of M.P. Mussorgsky (1939), the conservatory was given the honorary name of the Russian composer.

War and post-war time: 1941-1949

During the Great Patriotic War , evacuated musicians from Moscow , Leningrad , Minsk , Odessa , Kharkov , and Kiev worked in SGK. The staff of the Kiev Conservatory was in the city in its entirety, and its director A. M. Lufer led two universities. The department of opera preparation was headed by the conductor from Moscow A. B. Hessin , the department of special piano and chamber ensemble - G. M. Kogan , then the Leningrad pianists N. I. Golubovskaya (1942) and N. N. Poznyakovskaya (1944); the department of the history of music (which became an independent structure in 1942) was headed by M. S. Pekelis , then M. S. Druskin ; The music history cabinet was led by T.E. Tsytovich. The following taught at the conservatory: violinists D. F. Oistrakh and his teacher P. S. Stolyarsky , I. M. Yampolsky , M. B. Reyson, cellist A. P. Stogorsky, pianist G. G. Neigauz , musicologists and composers L. A. Mazel , V. A. Tsukkerman , S. S. Bogatyrev , A. A. Gozenpud , M. A. Gozenpud , D. V. Zhitomirsky , B. S. Shteinpress , V. Ya. Shebalin , R. M. Glier , D. B. Kabalevsky and others. The Department of Folk Instruments was led by a citizen of M. M. Gelis , who created the student orchestra of folk instruments (1943). In 1942-44, the departments of the chamber ensemble, musical comedy, and choral conducting were opened; they were headed by A. A. Yankelevich , S. S. Bergolts, and A. V. Preobrazhensky , who formed the choir of the conducting and choral department. In 1943, the State Ten-year Music School opened at the conservatory (since 2006, the Ural College of Music ). The first director of the school was the Kiev pianist I.D. Glezer.

During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, the Sverdlovsk State Conservatory accepted many famous musicians from the occupied territories of the country, as well as from Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and Moscow. Evacuated musicians taught at the SGK, mainly from July 1941 to 1943-1944. The terms of their work in Sverdlovsk turned out to be different - from several months to several years, sometimes until the end of the 1950s. The following list of teachers of the SGK of the war years demonstrates the uniqueness of the teaching staff of the university, which brought together representatives of the country's higher music schools.

The first musician accepted into the staff of the Sverdlovsk Conservatory in July 1941 was the composer A.V. Bogatyrev , the first chairman of the Union of Composers of the Belarusian SSR, evacuated from Minsk. The most significant replenishment of the teaching staff of the Sverdlovsk Conservatory was due to members of the Moscow branch of the Union of Composers of the USSR and the staff of the Kiev Conservatory. These organizations were evacuated to Sverdlovsk in full force.

Of the Moscow composers, work began in SGK: R. M. Glier (chairman of the Organizing Committee of the USSR SK), V. A. Bely , D. B. Kabalevsky, V. Ya. Shebalin, B. S. Shekhter, K. R. Eiges and others. From musicologists: V. A. Tsukkerman, L. A. Mazel, M. S. Pekelis, T. E. Tsytovich, A. M. Veprik , Z. I. Gorodetskaya, E. S. Berlyand-Chernaya , B. S. Steinpress , D. V. Zhitomirsky, P. (D.) S. Rybakova, N. R. Kotler, L. L. Khristiansen , etc. The group of evacuated Kiev musicologists included A. A. Gosenpud, F. I. Aerova, M. F. Geilig and others. Representatives of the Leningrad musicology were M. S. Druskin and S. S. B ogatyrev.

Performing schools of the country were most widely represented by visiting pianists. Of the Muscovites in Sverdlovsk were G. G. Neigauz, G. M. Kogan, M. I. Greenberg and others; N.I. Golubovskaya and N.N. Poznyakovskaya worked from Leningrad to SGK; from Kiev - A. M. Lufer, K. N. Mikhailov , M. A. Gozenpud, E. M. Slivak, A. A. Yankelevich, I. D. Glezer, T. L. Logovinsky, B. E. Milich , E. I. Tolpin and others. Odessa pianists R. R. Herschel and A. M. Pleschitser worked as accompanists.

Of the famous violinists and cellists in Sverdlovsk taught: I. M. Yampolsky, D. F. Oistrakh (occasionally) and his Odessa teacher P. S. Stolyarsky . The cello school of Moscow was represented by A.P. Stogorsky. Until 1946, the Leningrad violinist M. B. Reason worked in Sverdlovsk.

The conductors of the opera-symphonic class were musicians evacuated from Moscow (A. B. Hessin), Minsk ( N. B. Grubin ), Leningrad ( N. S. Rabinovich ), Kiev (M. M. Kanerstein). The class of choral conducting was conducted by Kiev A.G. Ravvinov and G.I. Kompaneyets.

Among the vocalists at the Sverdlovsk Conservatory were Muscovite V. I. Sadovnikov and Kiev D. G. Evtushenko . The department of folk instruments was headed by the Kiev musician M. M. Gelis .

There was a favorable situation for direct communication between representatives of various creative schools. The concert and theatrical life of the city was noticeably enriched. Local and evacuated students got the opportunity to learn from many prominent musicians and teachers. Among the visiting students at the Sverdlovsk Conservatory studied: composers E. S. Kolmanovsky , A. A. Muravlev ; vocalists V.I. Borisenko , L.I. Maslennikova , M.N. Zvezdin; pianists S. L. Dizhur , Yu. A. Muravlev , B. B. Tuzman, I. Z. Zetel, N. L. Shtarkman ; violinists E. A. Muravleva (Chugaeva); musicologists M. A. Berko, V. A. Obram and many others.

Thanks to the cooperation of professors from various conservatories during the war years, a postgraduate study in the field of musicology was opened at the Sverdlovsk Conservatory; one of them is dedicated to the Ural musical culture.

After the re-evacuation of visiting musicians, there was a reduction in specializations and departments: the departments of musical pedagogy (1944) and folk instruments (1945) were liquidated, the department of the chamber ensemble lost its independence (1946). A positive decision was the opening of national studios for the peoples of the Urals and Siberia, which became the basis for renaming the university from Sverdlovsk to the Urals Conservatory (Order of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and order of the Department of Arts under the SNK of the RSFSR No. 9972 p. June 29, 1945). The negative impact of the Decree of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (1948) affected the creative and pedagogical work of composers: Professor V. N. Trambitsky was removed from the post of chairman of the Sverdlovsk branch of the RSFSR SC, and associate professor O.K. In 1949, the department of musical comedy was closed.

Second half of the 20th century.

The fruitful progressive development of the conservatory began in the 1950s. Two independent departments were formed at the orchestra faculty: strings and wind instruments (heads S. Ya. Madatov, then G. D. Tsomyk and V. I. Schelokov ); the department of general piano appeared (A. A. Petrenko), the department of chamber ensemble (B. I. Pevzner) regained autonomy; in 1963, the Department of Folk Instruments was organized ( E. G. Blinov ). From 1955, the training of students from the Mongolian People's Republic began . Since 1957, a periodical “Scientific and Methodological Notes” appeared in the UGK. In 1970, the department of orchestral conducting was opened under the direction of M.I. Paverman. Thanks to his graduate E.V. Kolobov , the artistic level of student opera performances has grown markedly. Since 1972, the departments of composition and theory of music (managers N. M. Puzey and V. P. Kostarev) were divided and a folk music cabinet was organized (V. V. Bakke); in 1973 the department of methodology, pedagogy, and special piano was formed (I.Z. Zetel). In 1973, the Faculty of Continuing Education (FPK) was opened for mid-level educators (Dean L. G. Bendersky). The conservatory began to conduct events at the all-Russian and all-Union levels: the first were the All-Russian Festival of Music College Students (1967) and conferences initiated by vice-rectors for scientific work G. P. Rogozhnikova and N. A. Volper. In 1974 an ensemble of early music was organized (V.P. Milshtein, E.A. Rubakha). Since 1981, the work of the Opera Studio has been unfolding. In 1989, on the basis of the FPK, the Scientific and Methodological Center (NMC) was formed, headed by V. I. Renzin. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of M.P. Mussorgsky (1989), an All-Union vocal competition was held at the UGK.

The years of “ perestroika ” and the beginning of the 1990s had a contradictory effect on the work of the conservatory. The contingent of students and teachers decreased, the Opera Studio and the Scientific and Methodological Center ceased to exist, part of the premises were leased, which led to a reduction in the library fund. At the same time, opportunities for manifesting one’s own initiatives opened up. The following were created: The study of electronic music (1990, head T.V. Komarova), the department of sound engineering (1993, head V.M. Tsekhansky) and the recording studio "Ural" (1995, director V.V. Keller). The conservatory took part in the formation of new music universities and music departments at the institutes of culture and art of the cities of the Urals ( Magnitogorsk , Chelyabinsk ) and Siberia ( Tyumen , Yakutsk ). Bilateral international contacts arose, students from China , South Korea , Colombia , Mexico and other countries appeared.

21st Century Conservatory

The 21st century Ural State Conservatory named after M.P. Mussorgsky is a creative and scientific-methodical center of the Ural Federal District , which trains highly professional musicians (performers, teachers, composers, researchers, sound engineers) to work in Russia and abroad. In 2008, the Department of Performance Theory and Musical Pedagogy was opened at the UGK (head E.N. Fedorovich), in 2012 specialization in ancient Russian singing art (supervisor O. E. Sheludyakova) was introduced, in 2013 - in ethnomusicology (supervisor T. I. Kaluzhnikova ) On the initiative of the vice-rector for scientific work A. G. Korobova, a new Scientific and Methodological Center was formed in 2012 (now - the Center for Continuing Professional Education, head N. K. Evdokimova). Currently, the Conservatory regularly hosts premieres of performances by the Opera Studio (it was revived in 2004), symphony, chamber concerts and competitions. Among them are international competitions: the pianist competition "Russian Season in Yekaterinburg", a competition of trumpeters and ensembles of brass instruments named after V.I.Schelokova, Yekaterinburg International Competition for young vocalists of the academic genre, festivals-contests of electro-acoustic music and multimedia "> SYNC"; All-Russian festival “Voices of Folk Instruments”, a musicology competition for the work of students of secondary specialized educational institutions of the Russian Federation and the CIS countries “Ural Youth Forum” and others. Since the beginning of the XXI century, multi-genre art assemblies and international scientific conferences have been held. Especially significant for the university are events dedicated to M.P. Mussorgsky and P.I. Tchaikovsky: with the House-Museum of P.I. Tchaikovsky in Alapaevsk, the conservatory is associated with many years of creative contacts. The life of the conservatory is covered in its own periodicals: “Music in the Culture System: Scientific Bulletin of the Ural Conservatory,” the magazine “Word of Music”, the newspaper “Concert Hall”.

The main building of the conservatory on the central square of the city (26 Lenina Ave.) is an architectural monument of the 18th-19th centuries, the first stone house of Yekaterinburg, erected for the Main Mining Administration of the Ural factories (1737-1739, author of the project Johann von Banner). During the reconstruction of the XIX century. (1833-1835, architect M.P. Malakhov ) was built on the third floor, which now houses the Small Concert Hall. S. Prokofiev . In the 1950s, a comfortable hostel was put into operation (Malysheva St., 31), now it is the second educational building. In 1965-1966, a new building was added to the old building - with theater, concert and sports halls, classrooms and rooms for administrative structures, a library and a reading room (a group of architects led by M.V. Reisher). In 1971, a new hostel was built (Schorsa St., 94 A).
