“Talent needs help…….”
K.Stanislavsky
The great composer Beethoven considered that “Music is the language of God”, which meant that it does not need translation? Therefore the language of musical notes is common to all musicians whatever country they comes from.
The glory of European and
Russian classical music composers and performers lives on. The masterpieces
created by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky,
Rachmaninov, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and many others are still
performed today by the best musicians in the world. Millions of copies of
records of great musicians of the past such as Chaliapin, Caruso, Richter,
Gilels, Horowitz, Oistrakh, Menuhin, Rostropovich as well as performances of
famous orchestras conducted by Toscanini, Mravinsky, von Karajan, Svetlanov
and many others are available in countries all over the world.
Today Russian classical musical culture is going through a difficult period.
However, we are not among those who oppose classical culture against what is
being named as “mass culture”. We are among the ones who believe that
classical music, to its highest degree, promotes harmonization, creation and
the development of person’s individual talents, instead of limiting them to
a universal average. In Europe, USA, Australia, China and Japan concerts of
classical music are attended by more and more people, and their performers
are considered as stars by the public. But, much to our regret, this is not
yet the case in Russia. Due to lack of interest and support of classical
music from the state and business enterprises many talented musicians are
forced to struggle for an elementary survival in their homeland or search
for a job abroad.

We cannot and we do not promise to correct this situation in a short time. But we can offer to the talented and professional musicians who have spent many years of intense study and work to master their art, a media that will allow them, thru Internet, to become known all over the world. We can introduce them to a broad audience of listeners, and also professional managers and agents. We will try to help musicians by providing direct contacts with those who are interested in co-operating with them and assisting them to perfect their skills as well as their successes on stage. Our goal is to help the musicians to establish and maintain fruitful communications with agents, producers, managers and directors of musical projects.

We have 20-year-old
operational experience in the market of all sorts of classical music behind
us. It includes opera, instrumental, symphonic, choral and other kinds of
music. We have experience of personal work with musicians, both with young
and with "stars", organizing concerts, master classes, plus audio and video
recordings of classical music concerts. Our background includes also a
long-term experience in the field of representation of music, art and
history through modern multimedia, video and Internet technologies.
We are certain that classical music today, has been muffled by the “mass
culture”, but will revive from its ashes as a Phoenix and classical
musicians will find again the place they deserve in the society.
