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. Each of the Gnessin sisters had studied piano and graduated with distinction from the Moscow Conservatory. The college quickly became, and remains, an elite music school, considered second only to the Moscow Conservatory.
Founders
The Gnessin sisters were born in Rostov-on-Don, the children of Rostov Rabbi Fabian Osipovich Gnessin. The entire family appears to have possessed musical talent. Their brother, Mikhail Fabianovich Gnessin, was a celebrated composer and teacher who later served (1945-1957) as head of Gnessin State Musical College.
