MAESTRO

Based in the Czech Republic since 2007, Maestro Alim Shakh is the lead tutor of the International Conducting Masterclasses. Alim Shakh was taught by famous conductors and teachers - Fyodor Kozlov (1927–2003) and Ilya Musin (1904–1999), he maintains and spreads traditions of St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory. Alim Shakh is the last of Prof. Musin's students, who get knowledge from first hands. His outstanding conducting technique lets Maestro conduct the most difficult pieces of the classical and modern music. Talented works of distinguished modern composers have been marvelously interpreted by the conductor, so it is no mere chance that Shakh is held in esteem. Alim Shakh is a prominent conductor, he worked with orchestras in Prague (Rudolfinum), Weimar, Paris, Linz (Brucknerhaus), St.Petersburg, London (Royal Albert Hall). Maestro conducted International Symphonic Orchestra in Great Britain, Weimar Chapel Orchestra (Germany), Chamber choir Grand Rapids (USA), Californian opera theatre (USA), Prague Symphony Orchestra, la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Costa Rica, Slovak State Philharmonic, Philharmonie de Paris, Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra and many others.
