Biography[]
Timur Ismagilov was born in Ufa (Bashkortostan, Russia). He started to compose music at the age of 11 and attended Rustem Sabitov's composition class in 1995–2000.[2] Ismagilov graduated from the Lyceum of Ufa State Institute of Arts (Lyudmila Alexeeva's piano class).[3] In 2005 he graduated from Alexander Tchaikovsky's composition class at the Moscow Conservatory.[4] In 2005–2008 he took a post-graduate course in the conservatory (academic adviser Alexander Tchaikovsky, scientific adviser Svetlana Savenko).
In 2006 Timur Ismagilov founded the Sviatoslav Richter's memorial website.[5] Since 2010 he has organized a number of contemporary music concerts. Ismagilov was one of the composers interviewed by Dmitry Bavilskiy for his book “To be called for: Conversations with contemporary composers” (published in 2014).[6] Besides composing his own music, Ismagilov has made about 600 transcriptions and arrangements for different sets of instruments.
