 State Chamber Orchestra "Moscow Virtuosi", Artistic director and Chief Conductor Vladimir Spivakov together with Anastasia Kobekina (cello) and Vsevolod Zavidov (piano) will perform Haydn, Cello concerto; Symphony #85 in B-flat major, La Reine; Shostakovich, Prelude and scherzo; Concerto #1 for piano, trumpet and chamber orchestra. In 1979 Vladimir Spivakov, an outstanding virtuoso violinist, with a group of his friends and artistic associates, mostly winners of international music competitions, as well as soloists and section leaders of the best Moscow symphonic and chamber orchestras, founded the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra. Thus, the highest performance standard was set up from the very moment of the orchestra’s establishment, which justified its claim for a rather ambitious, at a first glance, title of Moscow Virtuosi. A really European manner of ensemble performance, concern for tiny details and nuances, solicitous and creative interpretation of author's concepts, bright artistic talent and love both for the pieces performed and for the audience make the Moscow Virtuosi Orchestra so different from many other chamber orchestras. The orchestra stands away from aesthetic any snobbery and arrogant attitude to listeners, some of whom might have come to the concert quite by chance. To excite the audience emotionally and to enthrall intellectually every listener, even an ignorant one, to endow him with the pleasure of enjoining music masterpieces, to evoke the desire to come to chamber music concerts again are considered by the Moscow Virtuosi as the most important goals.
