Alexander Sokolov, the former Russian Minister of Culture, and currently president of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, told Global Times that he has “high expectations for the upcoming cooperation in performing and educational programs between the Tchaikovsky Conservatory and China’s art organizations, such as Beijing Poly Theater Management Company, over the next five years.”
Global Times reported: “The choral art collaboration program released by the conservatory and Poly Theater on Wednesday [March 25] is an attempt to promote cultural exchanges in terms of performances, education, and academic exchanges. Sokolov said that the five-year program will include an International Master Training Camp for Choral Conductors, a China tour for the Tchaikovsky Conservatory Choir, and an International Choral Arts Festival, among other projects.”
