The name of the oboist and conductor Alexey Utkin is now well known both in Russia and abroad. His great natural talent was developed by the brilliant musical education he has received in the Moscow Conservatory.

All this made him very soon a notable figure in the modern Russian musical life. As a soloist Alexey Utkin performed with such famous musicians as VladimirSpivakov, Yury Bashmet, Natalia Gutman, Eliso Virsaladze, Alexander Rudin, Nikolai Petrov, Valery Popov, Dmitry Khvorostovsky, Elena Obraztsova and many other stars of the classical stage, he also cooperated with famous drama actors - Alexander Filippenko, Mikhail Kozakov, Alexander Sokolov.
