Gnessin State Musical College
The main building
The Gnessin State Musical College (Russian: Государственный музыкальный колледж имени Гнесиных) and Gnessin Russian Academy of Music (Russian: Российская академия музыки имени Гнесиных) is a prominent music school in Moscow, Russia.[1]
History
Originally known as the Gnessin Institute, it was established on February 15, 1895 by three sisters: Evgenia Fabianovna, Elena Fabianovna, and Maria Fabianovna Gnessin.[2] Each of the Gnessin sisters had studied piano and graduated with distinction from the Moscow Conservatory.[3] The college quickly became, and remains, an elite music school, considered second only to the Moscow Conservatory.[4]
Founders
The Gnessin sisters were born in Rostov-on-Don, the children of Rostov Rabbi Fabian Osipovich Gnessin.[5] The entire family appears to have possessed musical talent.[6] Their brother, Mikhail Fabianovich Gnessin, was a celebrated composer and teacher who later served (1945-1957) as head of Gnessin State Musical College.[7]
