History

St. Petersburg's musical salon

Russian physicist (magnetic resonance tomography) and composer, philanthropist Vladimir Anisimoff back in the 1990s established in St. Petersburg educational musical evenings. These musical concerts were held on Ostrovsky square, in the heart of the city, in Hall of Saint-Petersburg state theatre library.[3] The main attention was paid to modern living composers from St. Petersburg.

From 1993 to 1997 there were regular concerts (one each two months) and performances of almost all the leading composers of St. Petersburg. There was music of Georgy Firtich, Andrey Petrov, Michail Zhuravlev, Felix Shevtsov, Alexander Sledin,[4] Vladislav Uspensky, Radvilovich, Abram Ysfin and many other authors.

Support for new music

Since 2000 Vladimir Anisimoff actively supported materially and financially new directions of development of musical art. First of all he organized with the assistance of the composer Mikhail Zhuravlev a class of electronic music at the M.I.Glinka School of musical arts in St. Petersburg.[5] Secondly, he had quite long supported the Horn orchestra of Russia and he often funded on behalf of the JSC NCI corp.[6] concerts in Oak Hall of the St.Petersburg's House of Composers.
