Great musicians about us
Mstislav Rostropovich, patron of the ZBSM project
I am deeply convinced that the pedagogical approach of Zakhar Bron must be continued. I am very happy that young teachers, who have absorbed the method of the famous professor are working under his supervision.
Vadim Repin, soloist
This is exactly the kind of music education which is offered by the Zakhar Bron School of Music. And this is why with great pride I am becoming an Honorary Member of the School and giving my full support to the young talents and their teachers.
Maestro Zubin Mehta, patron of the ZBSM
Professor Bron has brought up a whole generation of violinists. The list of soloists, orchestra concertmasters and professors who emerged from his studio and are now making music all over the world is endless.
Maxim Vengerov, soloist and conductor
Thanks to my parents and teachers, from a very early age I have been fortunate to be able to connect with many people through Music. That’s why I am happy to support this new school, which will bring up a new generation of wonderful musicians.
