The Ministry of Culture will create a coordinating council for the development of creative universities

A coordination council is being created at the Ministry of Culture, which will unite the heads of the largest musical theaters, concert organizations and creative universities. About it reported Head of the department Olga Lyubimova.

According to Ms. Lyubimova, the Ministry of Culture plans to discuss with industry representatives steps to implement new projects, including art schools, philharmonic societies, conservatories, as well as improving repertoire policy and touring activities.

“It seemed to us that it is very important at this moment to be guided by the logic of those people who work in the industry and know the existing problems better than anyone else. Thus, we will be able to jointly predict our future common activities,” said Olga Lyubimova.

According to the director of the Bolshoi Theater and artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev, it is necessary that the country’s main universities are guaranteed to train personnel in creative fields “in a year, and in five, and in ten,” so that “we don’t suddenly discover that we have problems there.” ”

Today, December 25, as part of the initiative, Olga Lyubimova and her deputy Andrei Malyshev met with Valery Gergiev, pianist Denis Matsuev, General Director of the Moscow Philharmonic Alexei Shalashov and Deputy General Director of Channel One Andrei Pisarev.
