Dmitry Kogan belonged to a famous musical dynasty. His grandfather was the famous violinist Leonid Kogan, his grandmother was violinist and teacher Eliza-ve-ta Gilels, his father was conductor Pavel Kogan, and his mother was a pianist -ka Lyubov Kazinskaya. Family traditions played a very important role in the development of new music. Being the grandson of the legendary dar-no-go skri-pa-cha is a great responsibility. As Dmitry himself recalled, since childhood his play has been evaluated more carefully, not to forgive inaccuracies and roughness , compare with his grandfather’s performance. It is this very vision that will evolve in the future, and that is why Dmitry Kogan worthily continued the work of the great muse -ka-noy dynasty.

He is not embarrassed by the difficulty. He played not only in academic halls, but also for children and adults who survived the terrible tragedy in Beslan. He was the first of the creaks to speak before the polars at the North Pole. Dmitry Kogan devoted a lot of effort to the development of classy art in the regions of Russia. His project “Five Great Creaks” allowed the listeners of different cities to become acquainted with the sound of the instrument. Comrade of unsurpassed violin masters. A special place in his repertoire was occupied by the cycle of 24 caprices by N. Pagani, which can only be performed by a few screams in the world. He has performed at concert venues in Russia, Europe, Asia, America, Australia, the Middle East, the CIS and Baltic countries.

The violinist performed at the Novaya Opera three times, together with the Moscow Camera Orchestra, whose artistic direction -th he has been since 2014. In 2015, both of their concerts featured music from different authors, including the works of Mitro-po-li-ta Volok-lam-skogo Ilari -o-na (Alfee-va) - a special guest and the current concert. In March 2016, the concert “Italian Collection” with the participation of Dmitry Kogan, the Moscow Camera Orchestra, soloists of the Novaya Opera and Dmitry Sibir -tse-va (for-te-pi-a-no) became the decoration of the theater’s concert poster.

Celebrated and adored by all Russian violinist Dmitry Kogan,
applauded by the whole world, died suddenly at the age of 38.
The sad news arrived on August 29, 2017 - in the evening. Dmitry Kogan is a famous violinist, the grandson of an outstanding Soviet violinist and teacher, people's artist USSR Leonid Kogan.

Many did not believe the first ill-fated news and immediately rushed to call the secretary of the famous violinist. His personal assistant Zhanna Prokofieva confirmed:
“Yes, it's true,” she said over the phone.

Then she added that Dmitry had been suffering from cancer for many years, but did not want to tell anyone about it or bother him.
This is what caused sharp deterioration violinist's health.
Sudden death, nothing could help.

Dmitry Leonidovich Kogan was born on October 27, 1978 in Moscow. The successor of the famous musical dynasty. His grandfather was the outstanding violinist Leonid Kogan, his grandmother - famous violinist and teacher Elizaveta Gilels, father - conductor Pavel Kogan, mother - pianist Lyubov Kazinskaya, who graduated from the Academy of Music. Gnesins.

At the age of six, Dmitry began studying violin at the Central Music School at the Moscow State Conservatory. P.I. Tchaikovsky. At the age of ten he first performed with symphony orchestra, at fifteen - with the orchestra in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. Even then, people admired his talent, promising the boy a great future.

Official website of Dmitry Kogan -

Kogan received his higher education at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. He played the violin brilliantly!
He was applauded by spectators in Europe and Asia, America and Australia.

Dmitry Kogan is a violinist who managed to perform the cycle of Nicolo Paganini,
which consists of twenty-four caprices. For a long time it was believed that these works of the great genius were almost impossible to repeat. But Dmitry proved the opposite. Today, there are only a few violinists in the entire world who can perform the full cycle of caprices.

In 2003, Dmitry presented the famous Stradivarius “Empress of Russia” violin in Russia for the first time. The violin belonged to Catherine II. In 2010, Dmitry Kogan was awarded the honorary title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

Dmitry Kogan organized a number of projects. Since December 2002, under his leadership, International festival named after his famous grandfather. The violinist also led several other festivals. Since 2010, Dmitry has been an honorary professor at the Greek Athens Conservatory and chairman of the board of trustees at the Ural State University. music college. In 2011, the musician was approved for the position of artistic director of the Samara Philharmonic.

The violinist was married not for such a long time - only three years. Dmitry Kogan's life partner is also a very remarkable person. She was socialite And Chief Editor prestigious glossy publication “Pride. From life socialites» Ksenia Chilingarova, whose father is the famous polar explorer Artur Chilingarov. The young people got married in 2009.

Before the wedding, the couple simply lived together for some time without signing,
as is customary for many couples now. At first, happiness overwhelmed the young spouses, but a little later the dissimilarity of characters began to appear. By virtue of professional activity, Ksenia Chilingarova needs to attend social gatherings, which her husband did not organically accept.

However, this did not cause irreconcilable conflicts,
the spouses separated peacefully and until recently were very close people to each other, ready at any time to help if necessary.
So, for Dmitry Kogan, only the violin replaced his beloved wife, friends, and relatives, which he himself often talks about in his interviews.

Dmitry Kogan great importance gave to charity. He supported various actions in favor of talented youth. Dmitry Pavlovich was a member of the Council for the Quality of Education under the United Russia party. In 2011, Dmitry Kogan, together with philanthropist Valery Savelyev, organized a fund whose goal is to support interesting cultural projects.

Several years ago in Moscow, in the Column Hall of the House of Unions, a concert-presentation of the Fund for Support of Unique Cultural Projects named after.

The Volga Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra took part in the concert. Samara Chamber Orchestra State Philharmonic Volga Philharmonic was formed in 2011 on the initiative of Dmitry Kogan.

The exquisitely subtle performance of A. Piazzolla’s cycle “The Four Seasons in Buenos Aires”, the impeccable ensemble and the mutual understanding of the soloist and orchestra so impressed the sophisticated Moscow audience that the orchestra was not allowed to leave the stage for a long time.

The name of violinist Dmitry Kogan is on a par with the greatest musicians modernity. Thanks to his hard work and determination, more and more youth are coming to understand classical music, and connoisseurs are discovering more and more young talents, since one of the activities of this musician is charity.

Moreover, this charity was not an ostentatious action, after which the press extols the name of the benefactor for a long time, but sincere participation in the fate of young talents. Most often these are free concerts, donated CDs with music, instruments or accessories for them, as well as sums of money that are not burdensome for the maestro himself.

The date and place of the funeral are already known. According to some sources, farewell to Dmitry Kagon will be held in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions - September 2, starting at 11-00. As for the place of Dmitry’s funeral, it has not yet been determined exactly. The violinist's relatives want to bury him in Novodevichy Cemetery, if they are given permission.

He was extraordinarily handsome and seemed to glow, and also smiled while playing music.<...>I even cried today when I read the article about his passing. What a pity! Happy memory to the Musician with a capital M!” The death of “one of the brightest violinists of our time” was a “big shock” for the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky. “Dmitry was a worthy successor to the best creative traditions of the illustrious dynasty,” emphasized the head of the Ministry of Culture.

This man was a fountain vitality, a fountain of amazing organizing ideas musical projects. Before him, few people had done this on such a scale and few knew how to do it. He always had new ideas for the development of all kinds of concerts within the framework of classical music and beyond. First of all, he will be remembered as a wonderful violinist and a very good musician. This is what he loved most and what he came into this world for. I hope that the ideas he brought will remain. Because they are very correct and very close to every musician, but these ideas and discoveries were given to Dima,” said Alexander Gindin (rsute.ru). This is what Dmitry Kogan said: “Giving light at the end of the tunnel is a huge responsibility and a special joy” (KP); “No, I’m not afraid of any sanctions, that’s stupid. I mind my own business. My document is the stage, the music and the audience. I believe that everyone should mind their own business: politicians should do politics, diplomats should do diplomacy, doctors should treat, and musicians should play on stage, this is their calling. And let some appeals or documents be signed by lawyers (crimea.mk.ru); “I like a lot of musicians. But we must remember the biblical commandment: “Do not make for yourself an idol.” Therefore, a musician (or any creative person) must go his own way and follow the call of his heart, soul and mind" (crimea.mk.ru); “Classical music is not the lot of rich people, but the lot of enthusiasts - fanatics who adore their work. That's why I always try to help classical musicians- I know that they can withstand, I myself have gone through a lot in life and I understand the value of this matter” (crimea.mk.ru); “You have to give something to people, so that God can give you something too. We need to share our success and our capabilities. If I can help the young talented musician, I do it - it's not that difficult. If I have an extra set of strings or a bow that I don't use to play concerts, why not give them to me? young man who needs them? Or some amount of money, which for me is not fundamental in life... I do it with pleasure, for me it is the norm - like going to the shower or brushing my teeth” (crimea.mk.ru).

Dmitry Kogan: Playing music is great, but you don’t have to torture children

The most striking phrases of the famous musician Dmitry Kogan, who died at the age of 39

“A great talent has passed away from the great Kogan family”

After a serious illness (which few of the people in the workshop knew about), Dmitry Kogan passed away. 38 years. Violinist, grandson of the outstanding Leonid Kogan, son of conductor Pavel Kogan, with whom he did not particularly maintain relations. WhatsApp and email are full of messages from musicians: “I’m shocked,” “how can this be, we just played together.” Dmitry was intelligent, deep, courageous and sharp-tongued, and in his thoughts he seemed like a sort of Nikolai Arnoldovich Petrov from younger generation- He said what he thought, which, believe me, is very rare. Alas.

Dmitry Kogan: “You have to feel strongly for others to feel”

His motto was Paganini's. You have to feel strongly for others to feel. And that was it. No other musician was so loved by the public, and journalists even idolized him. Kogan knew how to look, act, and speak well. He forgave incorrect questions and happily agreed to various journalistic scams. Like playing in the subway under the guise of a street musician.

The purpose of the organization is to search for and care for young talents, as well as restore unique instruments and transfer them to practicing professionals.

Among the numerous charitable and creative projects implemented by Dmitry Kogan are “Five Great Violins” (the musician alternately demonstrates the unique capabilities of instruments made by Amati, Stradivari, Guarneri, Guadagnini, Viglioma), the Arctic Festival of Classical Music (introducing residents of the Far North to the masterpieces of world musical culture) , “Seasons” (live performance of concerts by Vivaldi and Piazzolla included in the video installation format).

The news of the musician's sudden death shocked admirers of his talent. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev expressed his condolences to the family and friends of Dmitry Kogan.

“During his short life, Dmitry Kogan managed to give people wonderful music. He knew how to sincerely and soulfully convey the beauty and depth of the works of great composers. And therefore the music he performed was close and understandable to everyone. People came to his concerts with whole families. The best halls in the world submitted to him. He was admired by everyone who had ever heard his violin.

Dmitry Pavlovich not only gave music from the stage. He did everything to make it sound throughout the country. He organized festivals, participated in charity events and looked for gifted children, helping them enter the wonderful world of music.

Dmitry Kogan will remain in our memory not only as an outstanding musician, but also as a representative of a wonderful musical dynasty. The sound of his violin will forever remain in the hearts of millions,” says a message on the government’s official website.

According to the governor of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Igor Koshin, Dmitry Kogan was “a man of extraordinary strength and faith in all the best.”

“I can’t pronounce the word ‘was’.” He is there for me and for every resident of the Nenets Okrug - in the music he gave us, in the bright emotions, in the sincere love of life,” the head of the district wrote on his VKontakte page.

“He is the best, generous, kind, open and ready to share his talent with everyone who cares. Founder and ideological inspirer of the first Arctic festival of high music in Naryan-Mar. They will remain so forever,” nao24.ru quotes the governor as saying.

Leading Russian instrumentalists - saxophonist Igor Butman and pianist Denis Matsuev - admitted that they were shocked by the news of the death of the young musician.

“I have a shock and a feeling of injustice, because a young man in the prime of his life from a great family is dying,” Regnum quotes Matsuev as saying. “I was taken by surprise by the news - I didn’t know that a terrible illness had overcome him. We studied together, but haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

“Such a young and talented man passed away so early - 39 years old... We played with him. And they performed in joint concerts. And he gave a concert in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions, we played with him, I played with his orchestra,” Igor Butman said on Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.

On his page on the social network, producer Maxim Fadeev recalled visiting Dmitry Kogan’s concert last spring: “Such a young and talented musician and simply a beautiful person. In March, I was at his concert at MMDM, sat literally two meters from him and listened to his violin. I saw a drop of sweat running down my forehead. He was extraordinarily handsome and seemed to glow, and also smiled while playing music.<...>I even cried today when I read the article about his passing. What a pity! Happy memory to the Musician with a capital M!”

The death of “one of the brightest violinists of our time” was a “big shock” for the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky.

“Dmitry was a worthy successor to the best creative traditions of the illustrious dynasty,” emphasized the head of the Ministry of Culture. He also noted that “Dmitry Kogan attached great importance to educational and charitable activities, and sought to introduce young people from different countries to classical art” (TASS).

On Sputnik radio, pianist and conductor Alexander Gindin expressed hope that Dmitry Kogan’s ideas will be implemented after his death.

“I still can’t come to my senses. This man was a fountain of vitality, a fountain of ideas for organizing amazing musical projects. Before him, few people had done this on such a scale and few knew how to do it. He always had new ideas for the development of all kinds of concerts within the framework of classical music and beyond. First of all, he will be remembered as a wonderful violinist and a very good musician. This is what he loved most and what he came into this world for. I hope that the ideas he brought will remain. Because they are very correct and very close to every musician, but these ideas and discoveries were given to Dima,” said Alexander Gindin (rsute.ru).

This is what Dmitry Kogan said:

“Giving light at the end of the tunnel is a huge responsibility and a special joy” (KP);

“No, I’m not afraid of any sanctions, that’s stupid. I mind my own business. My document is the stage, the music and the audience. I believe that everyone should mind their own business: politicians should do politics, diplomats should do diplomacy, doctors should treat, and musicians should play on stage, this is their calling. And let some appeals or documents be signed by lawyers (crimea.mk.ru);

“I like a lot of musicians. But we must remember the biblical commandment: “Do not make for yourself an idol.” Therefore, a musician (and any creative person) must go his own way and follow the call of his heart, soul and mind” (crimea.mk.ru);

“Classical music is not the lot of rich people, but the lot of enthusiasts - fanatics who adore their work. That’s why I always try to help classical musicians - I know what they can endure, I myself have gone through a lot in life and I understand the value of this matter” (crimea.mk.ru);

“You have to give something to people, so that God can give you something too. We need to share our success and our capabilities. If I can help a young talented musician, I do it - it's not that difficult. If I have an extra set of strings or a bow that I don't play concerts with, why not give them to a young person who needs them? Or some amount of money, which for me is not fundamental in life... I do it with pleasure, for me it is the norm - like going to the shower or brushing my teeth” (crimea.mk.ru).
