Vladimir
Rasskazov

Vladimir Rasskazov is a distinguished figure in classical music whose artistic path is closely bound up with the violin, conducting and the concert stage. He studied at the prestigious Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow under Professor Pyotr Bondarenko, assistant to the legendary David Oistrakh. Over the course of his career he played in symphony orchestras and worked with leading conductors of the Russian music scene. His playing is characterised by technical precision, a refined tone and a deep understanding of musical expression.

In 1989 he founded the Moscow Chamber Orchestra Renaissance, which became a defining part of his artistic legacy. As artistic director, conductor and soloist, he shaped a concept that unites historical tradition, chamber-music intimacy and contemporary interpretive energy. The orchestra performed in prestigious halls in Moscow and St Petersburg, with a repertoire ranging from the Baroque to Russian, Soviet and contemporary music. Rasskazov also worked abroad — from 1978 to 1980 he was concertmaster of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador in Quito, and as a soloist he gave concerts in several European countries.

Today he passes on his many years of experience to the next generation through teaching and masterclasses. His approach combines high performance standards with a focus on each student’s individual potential, musical thinking, expression, discipline and stage presence. In the BLACK & GOLD philosophy, black stands for elegance, focus and depth, and gold for mastery, tradition and excellence. Vladimir Rasskazov — where experience becomes art, and art becomes legacy.

He offers professional music instruction to emerging artists and developing talents alike — at the highest level and to students from all over the world, through flexible online lessons as well as private one-to-one sessions in person. He currently lives in Bratislava, Slovakia, and coaches future laureates of international violin competitions online.
