Khabarovsk School of Music is located in the Capital City of Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. It's one of the best schools for music in this vibrant cultural Centre of the performing Arts. Students from this inspired college are often the winners of National and International competitions graduating with high standards, frequently continuing their education in Moscow and other major Russian cities. Quite often the students return to become teachers themselves.

               

There is a custom in the Khabarovsk Music School, at the end of each academic year all teachers and graduating students gather together, to receive their diplomas and spend the last evening. It's an exciting day of celebration, music, laughter, mixed with tears of joy and sadness in the same breath...  It's hard for teachers to see their students moving on with their lives, far and away from the safe confines of the school, and the place they've called a second home for so long...
