Vladimir Vlasov
Vladimir Aleksandrovich Vlasov was a Soviet and Russian composer and conductor. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory from 1924 to 1931 under such teachers as Georgy Catoire, Abram Yampolsky, and Nikolai Zhilyayev. In 1936 he founded the Music and Drama Theatre in Frunze, working as the company's artistic director until 1942. He worked as the artistic director of the Moscow PO from 1942 to 1949. He was made a People's Artist of the RSFSR and of the Kirghiz SSR.
As a composer, Vlasov is known for his numerous operas, six of which were written in a Soviet government assigned collaboration with Vladimir Fere and Abdylas Maldybaev. The collective is usually hyphenated as Vlasov-Fere-Maldybaev, which also composed the Kirghiz national anthem.
