During the three years of my work here I have seen just several students of Conservatory at our rehearsals. I can count them on the fingers of one hand.
We have a conductor faculty in our Conservatory. I went through this school myself . When I was a student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, I spent all my time at the rehearsals of Temirkanov and Gergiev! The conductors’ inner workings are connected with the orchestra and you can learn it, even watching the process. I want the students who say: "We do not hear the orchestra," come to our rehearsal! I've seen a lot of things and I know a lot of things, and I will give my knowledge with great pleasure. Who will head the orchestra in future?
