VictoriaArtis is an international cultural platform uniting over 250 musicians from different countries — including a symphony orchestra, choral ensembles, instrumental soloists, and vocalists.
The idea of VictoriaArtis was born from the creative collaboration between two conductors — Victoria Dobrovolskaya (Russia) and Tunzhuo Zheng (China), both graduates of the St. Petersburg State Conservatory and students of the renowned maestro Vladimir Abramovich Altshuler.
For the first time in world practice, two artistic directors, representing different countries and cultural traditions, lead a single musical organization in full creative partnership. This unique model has brought together musicians from multiple nations and backgrounds, creating a truly international project.
VictoriaArtis is an association of musicians and creative people who build cultural bridges between countries and generations.
