Valery Gergiev is a vivid representative of the St Petersburg conducting school and a former pupil of the legendary Professor Ilya Musin. While still a student at the Leningrad Conservatoire, Gergiev won the Herbert von Karajan Competition in Berlin and the All-Union Conducting Competition in Moscow, following which he was invited to join the Kirov Theatre (now the Mariinsky) as an assistant to the principal conductor. His debut as a conductor at the theatre came on 12 January 1978 with Sergei Prokofiev's opera War and Peace. In 1988 Valery Gergiev was appointed Music Director of the Mariinsky Theatre, and in 1996 he became its Artistic and General Director (leading the orchestra and opera and ballet companies).
Mao Fujita was born in Tokyo in 1998. He is a graduate of the Tokyo College of Music High School. Currently, he is studying as a special scholarship student at the Tokyo College of Music. In 2017 he won the International Clara Haskil Piano Competition in Switzerland, getting three special awards. In June, he won the 2nd prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition. In October 2019 he made his London debut, performing with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra.
