 <\/p>\n

A Moscow Conservatory graduate (1995), he has been serving as Principal Bass of the famed Moscow Soloists Chamber Orchestra directed by Yuri Bashmet for nearly 13 years, when in 2004 he decided to move to Milan and dedicate himself entirely to his jazz career.\u00a0This switch from performing at the world\u2019s most important classical venue for many years with the likes of Rostropovich and Richter, Galway and Quasthoff and recording for EMI and SONY Classical (including a Grammy nominated album), to reaching the same top level in jazz music made Yuri Goloubev a true rarity and exception in the music world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space]
