The Great Hall, the main performance auditorium
History
It was co-founded in 1866 as the Moscow Imperial Conservatory by Nikolai Rubinstein and Prince Nikolai Troubetzkoy. It is the second oldest conservatory in Russia after the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was appointed professor of theory and harmony at its opening. Since 1940 the conservatory bears his name.
Choral faculty
Prior to the October Revolution the choral faculty of the conservatory was second to the Moscow Synodal School and Moscow Synodal Choir, but in 1919 both were closed and merged into the choral faculty. Some of the students now listed as being of the conservatory were in fact students of the Synodal School.
Great Hall
The renovation of the hall was completed in 2011.

gollark: It also didn't say "Special Containment Procedures" or "Object Class". Actually, I'll put that in...
gollark: That reads vaguely like an actual SCP entry, but incoherent and without the normal overly precise numbers and more "probably"/"roughly".
gollark: I mean, the whole thing of crosslinking between interesting things doesn't really work as well when a lot of stuff is in some social media platform's silo.
gollark: You might, say, be able to sneak something into a software update (which you might load on from the future equivalent of a USB stick).
gollark: I guess so, but computery stuff tends to be more vulnerable in other ways.
