Born in Leningrad in 1987, Yaroslav Zaboyarkin graduated from the St Petersburg State Conservatory in 2011 with a degree in violin, and graduated from the Conservatory in 2016 as an opera and symphony conductor. Yaroslav Zaboyarkin studied with conductors Yuri Temirkanov, Neeme Järvi and Paavo Järvi. In 2011, Yaroslav joined the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Russia’s oldest and finest symphony orchestra，ranking one of top ten worldwide.
In recognition of the merit of the young conductor, Yuri Temirkanov trusted Yaroslav to lead St.Petersburg Philharmonic orchestra during the concert series «Debut of a young conductor» which is relaunched in season 2018/2019. After the concert, critics wrote: “It was gratifying to see how one of the most difficult Russian orchestras to engage with was drawn into the conductor’s game with great delight. Another important skill possessed by young Maestro is keeping the fiery stream of feelings in the granite channel of intellect”.
