On 29 January, the first master class took place in Novosibirsk, conducted by Honored Artist of Russia, pianist Sergei Osipenko. The class was held as part of the 10th anniversary educational program of the Trans-Siberian Art Festival, «School of Masters».

Over the course of three days, seven young musicians selected by him from Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kemerovo, and Yekaterinburg will study with Sergei Osipenko. The master classes can be followed not only in the concert hall of the Novosibirsk Specialized Music School (NSMS) but also online. Teachers from Russia, Belarus, Armenia, and China have connected to the broadcast.

«In the updated version of »School of Masters,« we decided to focus not only on students but also on teachers. And we are very pleased that today in the hall there are young teachers who brought their students to the master class and were once participants in our educational program. By involving teachers, we are expanding the horizons of our possibilities,» says Anastasia Medvedko, head of the educational program of the Trans-Siberian Art Festival.

The master classes will be held at the Novosibirsk Specialized Music School in a session format. At the end of the session, attendees will have the opportunity to communicate directly and ask questions to the master.
