School of Stolyarsky
Stolyarsky School (for gifted children) is a music school established in Odessa, Ukraine (former USSR) in 1933 by the initiation and vision of the eminent violin pedagogue Pyotr Stolyarsky. To be admitted to the school, a child had to have a perfect pitch and go through a series of rigorous evaluations aimed at measuring her or his innate musical gift.
Fate willed that the fame of Pyotr Stolyarsky, a master violin pedagogue, should reach far beyond Odessa, the city in general, and the
the 1950-1970s, after the professor's death, the Stolyarsky school gave a start in life to a new generation of brilliant musicians, among them Margarita Lekhter, Rudolf Lekhter, Mark Zinger, Zakhar Bron, Boris Bloch, Mikhail Vaiman (Novy Bug, 3 December 1926 – Leningrad, 28 November 1977), Evgeny Mogilevsky, Dora Schwarzberg, Pavel Vernikov, Karmella Tsepkolenko, Alexander Vinitsky, Arkady Shindelman, Alexander & Mark Peskanov and Gennady Filimonov. The school continues to operate today.
