SERGEI PETROVICH SHIRINSKY (JULY 5 [18], 1903, YEKATERINODAR, RUSSIAN EMPIRE – OCTOBER 18, 1974, MOSCOW, USSR)
His mother, pianist Evgenia Frantsevna Kassan (married name Shirinskaya), founded the first music school in Yekaterinodar. His elder brother, violinist and composer Vasily Petrovich Shirinsky, was born there.
He graduated with honors from the Moscow Conservatory in 1923 and was inscribed on its marble Honor Board. His teachers included Alfred Edmundovich von Glehn and Anatoly Andreevich Brandukov.
Beginning in 1920, he played in the orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre and simultaneously performed with Persimfans (1923–1932). At various times, until 1966, he served as principal cellist of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, the All-Union Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the USSR State Symphony Orchestra. He was the first performer of numerous cello works by Soviet composers.
From 1923 to 1974, he was a permanent member of the Beethoven Quartet.
Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich dedicated his Fourteenth String Quartet to S. P. Shirinsky in 1973.
He performed with many of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, including Leopold Stokowski, Konstantin Nikolaevich Igumnov, Maria Veniaminovna Yudina, Emil Grigorievich Gilels, Lev Nikolaevich Oborin, and Alexander Borisovich Goldenweiser.
From 1931, he was an associate professor at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory (appointed professor in 1945). He also taught at the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Music Technical School (1923–1927) and at the M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov Music School during the 1940s.
His children were: Tatyana (physician), Elena (harpist), Sergei (archaeologist), Olga (teacher), and Galina (pianist).
