Maxim Kosinov

Maxim Kosinov is a violinist known for his ability to captivate audiences with his combination of virtuosity and sophistication. He combines the great Russian musical tradition with wide-ranging experience gained through a myriad of artistic collaborations in Europe.

Born in St Petersburg (1983). After graduating from the Specialist Music School in St. Petersburg in 2001, Maxim went on to study with Uwe Martin Haiberg at the Universität der Künste in Berlin, where he obtained a diploma in 2009. His teachers also included key historic figures, such as the founder of the Taneev Quartet and Concertmaster of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra during Mravinsky`s era, Vladimir Ovtcharek, in Saint Petersburg, and the period instrument pioneer Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam. He has participated in masterclasses with renowned violinists, including Gerard Poulet and György Pauk.

Since his first solo recital at the age of five, Maxim has regularly appeared as a soloist in Russia, as well as internationally in some prestigious venues such as the Philharmonic Hall in Saint Petersburg, Laeiszhalle Hamburg and Seoul Arts Centre to name a few. He has performed with orchestras including the Sofia Philharmonic, the Opole Philharmonic, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra and the OSUANL orchestra in Monterrey, Mexico. In 2012 Maxim went on tour to South Korea, where he performed sold-out recitals and delighted audiences and critics alike. Maxim won Second Prize and the Audience Prize at the Max Rostal Competition in Berlin among several other successes at international competitions.

Since 2012, Maxim has been Concertmaster in the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Jeffrey Tate.

In February 2014, Maxim will play the Brahms Violin Concerto in Bury St Edmunds with the East of Anglia Chamber Orchestra, and in June 2014 he will be performing in Paris with the famous French contralto Nathalie Stutzmann and her ensemble Orfeo 55.

Maxim is very grateful for the generous support of the Gartow Foundation and the Zeit Foundation (Germany) as well as the Hattori Foundation (UK).

Tatiana Lavrentieva was born on 13th December 1956 in Russia, on the Sea of Azov, in the town of Taganrog, the home town of Anton Chekhov and Russian actress Faina Ranevskaya. At the age of 18, Tatiana ventured moving to Moscow, to pursue her career as an actress, with nothing but Stanislavsky’s words in her mind “Have faith in all!” Life was far from easy in the big city, but Tatiana managed to win her place at one of the most credited theatrical academies of performing arts in Moscow, RATI, graduating a few years later with a Masters Degree in Professional Acting for Film, TV, and Theatre. She then went on to work in the Moscow film industry, as well as working in Georgia, at the famous Russian-Georgian “Griboedov Drama Theatre”.

In a short while, Tatiana Lavrentieva successfully established her name within the Russian film industry, in 1980-1992, appearing in 10 feature films, 12 TV dramas, and 15 theatre productions (including a whole variety of genres). She then wrote her first film script “Cover Me with The Shadow of Thy Wings”, a sensational story of love, loss and misfortune that was awarded the first prize at the International Aids Convention.

Tatiana moved to London in 1992 to continue her acting career in the UK. In the recent years, she appeared in a variety of films and TV productions in the UK, and has worked with such great names as David Cronenberg, Mike Leigh, Otto Bathurst and Marc Foster, to name but a few.

Kolomna Apple Ladies present: Russian Tea Party – Performance and Tasting of Traditional Russian Apple Sweets!

CamRuSS is proposing a group visit.

A rare opportunity to taste delicious traditional apple sweets (ПАСТИЛА) from the beautiful old Russian town of Kolomna while watching site specific theatrical performance from this extraordinary new Russian working museum of food and industrial history. In Russian with some English translation. Refreshments will be served. Suitable for families.

The Museum of Forgotten Taste “Kolomna Apples” is a private initiative of two Kolomna “apple ladies”: Natalia Nikitina and Elena Dmitrieva. The museum was open in 2009 in the old Russian town of Kolomna, 100 kilometres south of Moscow. The creation of the museum was inspired by the idea of reviving the forgotten taste of traditional Kolomna apple sweets. The museum soon became the town’s main attraction and since its opening has been developing many creative ideas to present a unique aspect of Russian style and taste in the world.
