Top 8 places in Moscow to listen to classical music for free

These days it is harder and harder to get a free pass to a classical music concert in Moscow. However, there are still some places where you can enjoy the art of a Russian pianist school for free.

Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory

A higher musical university in Moscow offers a great variety of concert programs. A lot of them have free entrance in the Small Hall and Rakhmaninovsky Hall, so it is an opportunity of a lifetime to get acquainted with incredible Russian musicians in the historical building where Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin studied. It is possible to visit the International organ and violin or wind and percussion music festivals. Most of all, these concerts are conducted by young musicians who support their teachers' classes. Despite their age, they give highly professional performances.

A. Losev house

In some of the museums there are special programs, directed to popularize classical music. You pay only for entrance to the museum and the concert itself is free. It goes without saying that the museum ticket is nothing (about 100-200 rubles) in comparison to the price of a ticket to a concert performed by Moscow Conservatory or Moscow Philharmonic Society.

You can visit professional chamber music concerts about twice a month in the Library of history of Russian philosophy and culture - A. Losev house (Losev was a Russian philosopher, philologist and culturologist who lived in the 20th century). However, before visiting it is important to register in order to participate in all of the library’s events.
