Anna Vilenskaya in Limassol 8 May 2024

Anna Vilenskaya is a musicologist, lecturer and researcher of contemporary music.

Anna started giving lectures when she was still studying at the conservatory. There, lectures about music were given professionally, but with a flavor of snobbery and museum historicism. She wanted to change the approach of music storytelling towards visualization, simplicity, emotionality and practicality for the listener. It all worked out, and from 2018 to 2022 Anna gave lectures first in bars in St. Petersburg, then in libraries, and then in theaters and museums in various Russian cities.

People loved these lectures, Anna was included in the list of 30 most influential people in Russia who are under 30, she made her show with Warner music Russia and read author cycles in philharmonic societies. With the outbreak of full-scale war, Anna left with her husband to Tbilisi and now works there. Now Anna does not give lectures in philharmonic halls, but in private centers and organizations, and she also works in a school and teaches people all over the world how to give lectures with her video course.
