Russian String Orchestra: Around the World in 18 Stops

Comprised of some of Russia’s finest young string players, this ensemble has carved a niche for itself under the creative baton of its founder and music director, Misha Rachlevsky. Its warmth and high energy create addictive performances that stay with listeners long after the last note has been played. “… From work to work, Rachlevsky drew from his players gleaming tone quality, finely nuanced timbres, carefully shaded textures and focused ensemble coordination. The vitality and expressiveness the players spontaneously poured into this work made it a jewel.” (The Washington Post)
