During one intensive week on the Costa Brava, each participant will receive five individual one-hour lessons with Liana Tretiakova, rehearse with a string ensemble, and perform with the ensemble at the final concert.
The lessons will take place in the historic chapel on the grounds of Sant Pere del Bosc Hotel & Spa, creating a unique and inspiring atmosphere for focused artistic work. At the end of the masterclass, each participant will receive an official certificate of participation from the Zakhar Bron School of Music.
Liana Tretiakova is the founder, school principal and lead violin teacher of the Zakhar Bron School of Music in Zurich. An alumna of the legendary Professor Zakhar Bron, she has 30 years of teaching experience, including 15 years as Professor Bron’s teaching assistant, and continues his world-renowned violin teaching tradition.
Thanks to her natural talent for working with children and teenagers, as well as her ability to achieve outstanding results, Liana Tretiakova has unique expertise in guiding young violinists from the age of four up to around the age of twenty, from their first steps on the violin through to university entrance and professional-level musical development.
Over the last ten years alone, Liana’s students have won more than one hundred prizes at music competitions around the world, including such prestigious international contests as the International Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poland, the International Arthur Grumiaux Competition for Young Violinists in Belgium, the Ilona Fehér International Violin Competition in Hungary and the International David Oistrakh Violin Competition in Kazakhstan.
Her students have performed as soloists with orchestras in Europe and Asia, including the Süddeutsche Philharmonie in Germany, the Colchester Symphony Orchestra in England, the Sofia Sinfonietta in Bulgaria, and the Prague Royal Philharmonic in Switzerland.
Since 2022, Liana’s students have regularly appeared in concerts with orchestras at Tonhalle Zürich, one of the most sophisticated concert venues in the world. Their achievements have been featured in The Strad, Blick, Tages-Anzeiger and Schweizer Illustrierte, as well as on Swiss television and radio.
Her students were selected for renown masterclasses at the Verbier Festival, the International Music Academy in Liechtenstein and the International Summer Academy Mozarteum University. In addition, Liana’s students have performed at the Gstaad Festival, the Montreux Music Festival, the Menton Music Festival and the Trans-Siberian Art Festival by Vadim Repin.
