The purpose of the study is to highlight the problematic areas of the modern activity of a concertmaster. The research methodology is based on comparative guidelines and involves reliance on the principles of systemic and performance approach. The scientific novelty of the study is determined be the identification of innovative problems that arise in the activity of a concertmaster in the modern cultural time-space. Conclusions. The article identifies modern changes in artistic practice and paradigmatic shifts in the system of professional education as determinants of the formation of new problem areas in the activity of a concertmaster. It is proved that the student-centred paradigm and the distance education format problematize the formation of psychological dimensions of creative partnership and psychological flexibility and actualize the intensification of the communication potential of the concertmaster`s personality, his focus on creative lability, tolerance and empathy, readiness for experimental creative solutions, especially in demand when mastering the latest repertoire. It is substantiated the significance of such modules for solving the problem of professional development as: testing the latest components of the expressive palette of contemporary musical art; mastering graphic innovations, programs for fixing the musical text; conscious orientation toward creating a multilayered semantic dimensions of works in the context of trends in genre and conceptual transformation of musical art. It is emphasized that the digitalization of education and changes in its algorithms problematize the concertmaster`s mastery of digital tools, in particular for video and audio conferences, and mastery of the range of possibilities of digital piano options.This create the basis for solving the issues of transposition, creating ensemble unity, testing possible interpretation of the work, as well as activating the independent activity of higher education students in the development and improvement of performance versions of the work in the technical, conceptual, semantic, and figurative dimensions of the work, and is a powerful example of the musician`s permanent focus of expanding the competence circle and professional thesaurus.
