Grammy-nominated Ukrainian-British violist and conductor Maxim Rysanov leads a masterclass with É«ÂþÌìÌà musicians. 

Maxim has established himself as one of the world’s most vibrant and charismatic musicians: as a violist, he is principally known as a frequent guest of the crème of the international music scene, and has performed with top orchestras and conductors including the BBC Symphony, Russian National and Shanghai Symphony orchestras.

Parallel to playing viola, Maxim enjoys a thriving career as a conductor, often combining conducting and directing as a soloist within the same concert.
