Ossetia is a region located on both sides of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. The folk music of Ossetia (Ossetic: Ирыстоны музыкæ/Irystony musykæ) began to be collected and recorded in the late 19th and early 20th century. After the Revolution of 1917, professional music appeared in Ossetia and in the following decades, a number of symphonies, ballets, operas and other institutions were formed. There is an Ossetian State Philharmonic. The first Ossetian opera was Kosta, by Christopher Pliev. Ilya Gabaraev is a famous Ossetian composer.

World Class Musicians

When talking about classical music, an educated person always mentions the name of Valery Gergiev, who currently ranks in the top ten of modern conductors of classical music, and can compete for the number one spot. Gergiev conducts the Mariinsky Theatre the London Symphony Orchestra and is the artistic director of the White Nights Festival in St. Petersberg. He is also a guest conductor at the Metropolitan Opera.

Gergiev was born in Moscow, raised in Vladikavkaz and received his musical education from the St. Petersburg Conservatory. One of his teachers was the Prof. Ilya Musin the creator of the Leningrad Conducting School that enabled many talented conductors to prosper. Gergiev developed his own style of conducting. He also used his talent to calm the first of revenge in the Caucasus, believing that "music is able to change the world and a person listening to Tchaikovsky's symphonies will not shoot".[1]
