Chamber Orchestra Kremlin

The Chamber Orchestra Kremlin has been critically acclaimed as one of the finest string ensembles in Russia, and arguably one of the best in the world.  This group of Russia’s finest young string players has earned international praise for its uniformity of performance, high energy and flawless execution. 

The orchestra was founded in 1991 by Misha Rachlevsky, who continues as its music director today.  Rachlevsky has skillfully molded these youthful virtuosos into a sonorous whole that is amazingly greater than the sum of its parts. 

The San Francisco Classical Voice said, “ . . . the Russians covered themselves and the music at hand with uncanny musicality, precision and verve.  The 16 string players offered the sort of superb playing one expects only from a top string quartet on a good night.” 

The Chamber Orchestra Kremlin maintains an active concert schedule in Moscow and throughout North and South America, Europe and the Far East.  The Orchestra’s warmth and high energy create addictive performances that remain with audiences long after the last notes have been played.
