Michael Schreider
Michael Schreider is a British composer and pianist of Russian descent. He graduated from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire Academic College and from the Saint Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire, where he was awarded distinction diplomas in both piano and musicology, followed by a PhD for his research on interpretation of piano texture and teaching methods.
Schreider has been teaching for more than 35 years at specialist and higher educational establishments in Russia and the United Kingdom including the Kent College and Kent Music Academy, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, the London College of Music and Media, the Purcell School and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
Michael Schreider is also the chairman of the London International Music Competition and one of the founding directors and chairman of the North London Piano School, which is known for its international summer master courses.
In November 2020, Schreider finished writing The Master and Margarita, an opera in 3 acts, for which the libretto has been written in English by Schreider himself and his wife Olga Malisova.
Schreider created a website to present the opera. This website contains technical information on the opera and a video with a short version (2 hours and 58 minutes) of it. The video includes subtitles and stage directions.
The score is delivered electronically. The vocals are particularly difficult to distinguish.
