It would be fantastic for me to come back in two or three years time!
Sending you my best wishes and regards from Berlin,

It was really lovely to meet you and to be in St. Petersburg, although it was so short… I had a very enjoyable time in St. Petersburg, and it was a great pleasure to perform in the beautiful Philharmonia Small Hall and to work with some of the Conservatoire's students. Thanks also for the presents from the festival.
Herzliche Grüße und alles Gute auch für Sie,

It was for me a pleasure and an honour to share the Festival with you.
Sacha is a very dear pupil of mine and it was very special to me to play with him and the excellent musician of the orchestra under the conducting of their maestro prof.Arkady Shteinlucht. I am sure that we will meet again.
With love to all the students and respect to you.

For us it was a wonderful pleasure to join you again in St. Petersburg. I was amused how professionally well organized was everything, plus the wonderful colleagues, students, concerts, venues, places, everything!!!
And your team was also incredible, Daria and Stefan, the two students responsible for us made our days so wonderful and easy in the city. Please, tell them our satisfaction. They are both not only good musicians (we talked a lot about music), but very-very warm persons and lovely hosts.
Yours, with warm wishes,

It is an event of great importance for the many participating Conservatories, the musicians – both teaching staff and students, as well as audiences. Thank you for all your work towards making this possible.
I would also like to thank you for the collaboration with the Sydney Conservatorium and the invitation extended to members of our faculty Mr. James Kortum, Mr. Fox Chan and Mr. Kirill Monorosi to teach and perform at this prestigious event, and to foster closer ties with the St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory.
I wish you and the Festival every success in the future and look forward to expanding on our collaborations.
Yours sincerely,
