Prima Ballerina / Étoile: Svetlana Zakharova

People’s Artist of Russia, laureate of the Russian state prize, prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, étoile of La Scala, Svetlana Zakharova was born in Lutsk (Ukraine). At the age of 10 she entered the Kiev Choreography School. Having spend six years in the class of Valeria Sulegina, she took part in the international young dancers contest “Vaganova Prix” in Saint Petersburg, where she was the youngest ballet dancer.

Having received her official ‘prima’ status at the age of 18, Svetlana continued her work for the Mariinsky Theater expanding her repertoire with classical and modern pieces: “The Sleeping Beauty”, “Swan Lake”, “Bayadère”, “Don Quixote”, - as well as premieres by George Balanchine. Zakharova successfully performed the pas des deux by Tchaikovsky and starred in “Apollo”, “Serenade”, “The Symphony in C” and “Diamonds in Jewels”. Zakharova also met with the great choreographer John Neumeier. In his ballet “Now and then” the young ballet dancer was presented as an ultra-modern artist, capable of mastering styles and genres of dance beyond the art of classical ballet.

Violin Solo: Vadim Repin

Violinist Vadim Repin was born in Siberia in 1971, and at age 11 he won all categories of the Wienawski Competition. His debuts in Moscow and St. Petersburg followed immediately afterwards and at the age of 14 he had debuts in Tokyo, Munich, Berlin and Helsinki and a year later in Carnegie Hall in New York.

At 17 he was the youngest ever winner of the Reine Elisabeth Concours. Since then he has performed with the world’s most renowned orchestras and conductors and in all major music centers.

Vadim Repin recorded the great Russian violin concerti by Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky for Warner Classics. For Deutsche Grammophon he recorded the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti and the Kreutzer Sonata with Martha Argerich, and the Brahms Violin Concerto and Double Concerto (with Truls Mørk, cello) with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly. His DG recordings of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov trios with Mischa Maisky and Lang Lang won the Echo Prize.
