History

Originally known as the Gnessin Institute, it was established on February 15, 1895 by three sisters: Evgenia Fabianovna, Elena Fabianovna, and Maria Fabianovna Gnessin.^[2] Each of the Gnessin sisters had studied piano and graduated with distinction from the Moscow Conservatory.^[3] The college quickly became, and remains, an elite music school, considered second only to the Moscow Conservatory.^[4]

Founders

The Gnessin sisters were born in Rostov-on-Don, the children of Rostov Rabbi Fabian Osipovich Gnessin.^[5] The entire family appears to have possessed musical talent.^[6] Their brother, Mikhail Fabianovich Gnessin, was a celebrated composer and teacher who later served (1945-1957) as head of Gnessin State Musical College.^[7]
