Elena Fabianovna Gnesina (1874-1967) was an outstanding musician, teacher, composer, musical and public figure. The founder of a number of educational institutions bearing the Gnessin family name.
Elena Fabianovna Gnesina, together with her sisters, created a school in 1895, which in 72 years of her leadership turned into a "musical combine", which for almost 130 years has been training musicians who glorify Russian art around the world.
