International Music School
The Princess of Asturias Foundation International Music School is the consolidation of an ambitious project which was started in 1990, when our our institution backed the move to Oviedo of the prestigious chamber orchestra The Moscow Virtuosi and six outstanding teachers (Gaiane Pogossova, Tsiala Kvernadze, Alexei Mijlin, Alexander Fedorchenko, Victor Afanassiev and Yuri Nasushkin). That was the start of an idea that was to make a substantial change in the musical-artistic life of the region and which, from that moment on, would lay the foundations of quality tuition, not only for young talented Asturian musicians but also for those from any other part of Spain and from other countries. Since then, the support given by the Princess of Asturias Foundation to both music teaching and orchestral activities in the Principality has increased, supporting numerous pedagogical activities, some of which were produced directly by members of the Virtuosi. After years of collaboration, in 2005, on the XXV anniversary of the Prince of Asturias Awards, on the initiative of Yuri Nasushin, the Foundation created the International Music School.
The classes are given by prestigious international teachers and some of the most outstanding musicians in the world also take part as guest teachers. Among these are some who have received awards given annually by the Foundation, which makes it a school which is completely different from any other in Spain. The International Music School confirms its aim of providing top level musical tuition with musicians from prestigious teaching centres all over the world. Since 2005, teachers from institutions such as Detmold Music Academy (Germany), the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, the Robert Schumann Music School in Düsseldorf, the Gnessin Russian State Academy in Moscow, the Rubin Conservatory of Music and Dance, Jerusalem, the Mons Royal Conservatory (Belgium), the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, the School of Music, Oporto (ESMAE), the Yehudi Menuhin School (United Kingdom), the Juillard School, New York, the Royal College of Music, London, the “giuseppe verdi” Conservatory, Turin (Italy) the Eastman School of Music, Rochester (New York) and the “Simón Bolivar” Conservatory, Venezuela have given classes there.
