Need help - abbreviation (Russian)

[Jerry Ervin]

Dear Colleagues,

My brother (a trombonist) has been invited to play some concerts and do
some master classes in Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata) this spring.  He has now
received the official "priglashenie," and I'm translating it for him.  No
problems except one:  an abbreviation.  From the context it's clear, but
can anyone possibly help me with this:

[name] . . . provedet master-klass, budet predsedatelem GEK.  [That's E
oborotnoje in the middle.]

I assume it means the jury committee, i.e., the faculty group that will
listen to the graduating students' performances and decide on their passing
marks.  But I'd like to know exactly what it is so I can do a good
translation.

Thanks (ot imeni mojego brata it ot menja samogo....)!

Jerry Ervin
