Varganov Michael,
tenor

I have my heart set on music even when I was quite young. As I grew older I made up my mind to become a professional singer. My dream realized after I have graduated from the Vocal Faculty in the Music Collage of P.I. Tchaikovskiy.

From 1993 till 1997 I sang with the ensemble of sacred music "Blagovest". For two years I worked with "The Capella Moscow Kremlin" and since 2002 I have been singing with Ensemble "ZLATOUST".

Among the ensemble a collaborated with were: "The Moscow Chamber Choir", "The Cossacks Ensemble", the Choir "Spiritual Revival".

I sang in the operas "Bogema" and "Demon" in the Opera House of Bregenz (Austria) conducted by V. Fedoseev and in "Sadco" in Venice (Italy).
I went on tour in Europe, Cuba, North Korea.
From 1999 till 2004 I was a student of the Vocal Faculty in the Gnesins Academy of Music. While in Academy I took part in the Festival in Italy (on the Elba) with Y. Bashmet as a conductor.

This year I graduated from the Academy and is full of hopes to make good use of the knowledge and experience acquired there.
