He had piano lessons from an early age but his serious training in composition began at the Moscow Conservatory where he studied counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev and harmony with Anton Arensky. He began to compose and for the rest of his life divided his musical time between composing, conducting and piano playing gaining great fame in all three. After leaving Russia permanently in 1917, the need to make a living made his rôle as a piano virtuoso predominant. His 4 Piano Concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and substantial solo piano works make him one of the world's most-performed composers. However, he also composed operas, liturgical choral works as well as other pieces for orchestra, chamber groups and chorus.

  • MOSCOW STATE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Pavel Kogan
    MOSCOW STATE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Pavel Kogan, Music Director The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1943, has been acclaimed as one of the greatest orchestras from a cultural tradition rich with extraordinary symphonic ensembles. The orchestra’s founder and first Musical Director was Nikolai Anosov, one of the most outstanding musicians of his time, whose son, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, became, in turn, one of Russia’s most famous conductors. Under the subsequent leadership of Lev Ginzburg, the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra developed close relationships with the most prominent Russian Twentieth Century musicians and composers, including Prokofiev and Shostakovich. The orchestra also had the distinction of performing under the directorship of the well-known Soviet woman conductor, Veronika Dudarova. Since Pavel Kogan assumed the positions of Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra in 1989, the orchestra has steadily expanded its repertoire beyond the classics of Russian and Western symphonic literature to include contemporary compositions from both Russia and abroad. Apart from its regular appearances at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and performances throughout Russia, the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra has also been enthusiastically received throughout the major musical centers of the world. The orchestra has engaged in extensive international touring, playing from 20 to 50 concerts abroad each year and performing in the most prestigious concert halls of Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Australia. The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra also performs regularly at major Russian and European festivals including the Moscow Autumn Festival, the Russian Winter Festival, St.

His new commission from the Sacconi Quartet 'In Damascus' was inspired by violinist Hannah Dawson’s suggestion for a work that should reflect aspects of the conflict in Syria; not because music can offer any political solution, but simply as an expression of empathy, sorrow, even outrage at those terrible events. Featuring a performance by tenor Mark Padmore, the text is taken from prose-poems by Ali Safar that draw on his first-hand experiences in Syria, eloquently translated by Anne-Marie McManus. 'In Damascus' picked up excellent reviews in both the Guardian and the FT, following its London premiere at the Sacconi's 15th birthday concert at Kings Place last July. The Guardian awarded the concert five stars, describing it as "unusual and timely", with a libretto that is "both
