Alexander Glazunov Tickets

Alexander Glazunov (born August 10, 1865, Saint Petersburg — died March 21, 1936, Paris) was a leading figure in late-Russian Romantic music. A composer, conductor, and influential educator, he shaped a generation of musicians and left a durable musical legacy. Glazunov’s work blends nationalism with lush late-Romantic lyricism, spanning eight symphonies, ballet suites, concertos, and orchestral suites that continue to engage audiences today.

As director of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory from 1905 to 1928, he helped reorganize the program into the Petrograd/Leningrad Conservatory and mentored future stars, including Dmitri Shostakovich. His music remains a bridge between the Russian nationalist tradition and broader European Romantic sensibilities.
