Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Konservatoriya imeni Chaykovskovo)
Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Konservatoriya imeni Chaykovskovo) Review
The famous Tchaikovsky Music Competition takes place every four years in this conservatory's magnificent concert hall (the next one is scheduled for 2010). The conservatory was founded in 1866 and moved to its current location in 1870. Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, and Tchaikovsky are among the famous composers who worked here. There's a statue of Tchaikovsky in the semicircular park outside the main entrance. It was designed by Vera Mukhina, a famous Soviet sculptor. You can buy reasonably priced tickets to excellent concerts of classical music in the lobby ticket office in the main building. You can also just sit back with a coffee and listen to rehearsals and concerts from the summer garden of the Coffeemania here, near the Tchaikovsky statue.
