Anton Rubinstein Academy
Anton Rubinstein Academy is an educational initiative by musicAeterna and Teodor Currentzis for singers. The project aims to cultivate artists who not only excel in professional creative work, but also in artistic expression across a diverse spectrum of musical and theatrical genres.
Rooted in principles of technical excellence, the Academy focuses on the global cultural context, as well as a comprehensive model of professional development — from vocal skills to language competence and understanding of the profession as a cultural and ethical practice.
Events
The musicAeterna Orchestra and Choir, conducted by Teodor Currentzis, present in Moscow an updated concert version of the programme “Hændel. The Dedication Ceremony to George Frideric Handel”. It combines fragments from English oratorios and Italian operas by Handel. An anthology of theatrical music by one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era is performed on historical instruments and in the Baroque style. The concert’s full dramaturgy adheres to the principles of the ancient extravaganza, characterized by its illusory, multifaceted nature, a constant play of scales, and focused attention to voice and space.
The soloists for this large-scale project — performed in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Perm, Thessaloniki, Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona — are young and promising singers participating in the first enrollment of the Anton Rubinstein Academy.
