My goal is the realization of the individual and collective potential of the people, which is mostly blocked by stereotypes and psychological restrictions in the field of humans artistic activity and music. Each person can reach the greatest results in their own career and in the social path. My new model of work with the people is a well-tuned balance between motivation and efficiency of teamwork based on the method of the most successful violin mentor of all time Leopold Auer
Violinist and violin pedagogue

The
Colour-concert
series
Color the concert is the concert series for children, where teachers and their students perform together. The goal of the Color the Concert project is to make listening to classical music a joyful event for the child. Children listen to music in a comfortable natural environment, interacting with other children, not constrained by traditional concert rules. The teachers are supporting students in the real-time process helping them to find their unique way of communicating with a complex and demanding children's audience. This is a kind of master class and joint creative work in one project. This form of communication with the audience strengthens the stage confidence of young artists, helps to feel a connection with the audience, and gives a strong positive emotional and motivating effect after performances.
International
Violin Festival
"Auer. Heritage"
International Violin Festival Auer. the Heritage. We have corrected the traditional model of the violin festival, where the competition, the master class and the concert series are only held in parallel in the program of one festival, but are not connected sequentially. At the Auer. Heritage festival, outstanding violinists who perform solo concerts in the festival's concert series give open lessons for young participants during the week.
Based on the results of these classes, the best of the young violinists get the opportunity to perform on the stage together with the masters. This approach significantly reduces stress for participants, and the process of learning and professional challenge becomes more exciting and intense. We do not oppose larger musicians to younger ones, but unite them in creative work.
"At home with
the orchestra"
During the pandemic, we faced a new challenge when the previous system could not be effective in isolation. I have brought together professional musicians and teachers to create an online platform for children with a tutorial for home lessons "At Home with an orchestra". We have recorded more than a hundred phonograms of music schools' repertoire. Children and teachers used recorded accompaniments in distance classes. We offered a feedback system for children and their teachers to allow them to get a competent professional opinion about their playing and to get answers to important questions and recommendations for further practices. This work united the musicians together, they retained motivation and professional standards in difficult times. We have collected a large database to assess the prospects of children's music education. As part of the "Houses with an Orchestra" project, several conferences were held with teachers throughout Russia, where new opportunities for developing music education using the Internet, the latest technologies and equipment were discussed.
The Saint-Petersburg Nights proms
concert festival
The Saint-Petersburg Nights proms concert festival founded in 2017 and for the first time earned good acceptance and respect from the audience and professionals. Each festival gives a wide field for international connections of cultural friendship and collaborations. And each festival is fully opened for the audience and broadcasted online thereby it reaches an extremely high level of demand. Last festivals were held within the program of the Saint-Petersburg Cultural forum which brings together the main leaders of the international cultural life around the world.
