Spivakov was born in Ufa. He studied with Yuri Yankelvich at the Moscow Conservatory, and is considered one of the leading violinists of his generation.
Spivakov currently serves as the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the National Philharmonic of Russia. He conducted the music for Garri Bardin's 2010 animated feature, The Ugly Duckling.[1]
