Dear friends, young musicians and all music lovers!

We welcome you and invite you to V St. Petersburg International Music Festival & Competition and Summer Academy "Grand Piano in Palace”! The festival is organized by the company "SymphonyArt" in St. Petersburg at the House of Composers. The festival includes a series of master classes and concerts devoted to performance and teaching of classical music on the highest level. Over the centuries St. Petersburg was the center of music and artistic culture. Friendly and hospitable atmosphere will leave no one indifferent.

​

The goal of our festival is to provide maximum conditions for a fruitful creative work of the participants. The program of the festival combines an intensive educational process with the follow-up performances during which a young musician has an opportunity to play on the same stage with world-class artists. We invite you to join our music celebration as an active participant or just as a guest. Here, at the very heart of St. Petersburg, in its historical center each of you will have a chance to increase your professional level taking individual lessons from highly qualified masters. You can also take part in every day concerts, attend educational seminars, lectures and open workshops as a chamber ensemble, a vocalist, a compositor and an individual solo player or with an orchestra. Lastly, you will have a chance to compete with ambitious young musicians of the international competition "Grand Piano in Palace". All events will take place at the mansion of the House of Composers which is located just steps away from Saint Isaac's Cathedral. The solemn opening of the festival is planned on June 21, 2020 at the Small Hall of the D.D.Shostakovich Saint-Petersburg Academic Philharmonia. Final gala concerts will be held at the White Hall of the Marble Palace on the Neva Palace Embankment on June 28, 2020.
