Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet
Founded in 1939, the Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet is a precious heirloom of
the Russian music culture.
The present members Mikhail Bondarev (violin), Ekaterina Belisova (violin),
Alexei Popov (viola), Anton Andreev (cello) are graduates of the Saint Petersburg
Conservatory. By virtue of a shared heritage they are steeped in the grand
tradition of Russian music making, achieving organic and convincing
interpretations of a diverse repertoire of masterworks, Russian classics and
contemporary masters.
The Quartet champions the music of Russian composers with the core of their
repertoire being the music of Borodin, Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, Taneyev and
Stravinsky. They also perform lesser-known masterworks of Glinka, Alabiev,
Rimsky-Korsakov, Gretchaninov, Miaskovsky and Mossolov.
The group is a proponent of contemporary composers having recently premiered
Hans Werner Henze's Piano Quintet at the Berliner Philharmonie. Furthermore,
they have been active in presenting premiere performances of young composers
in Saint Petersburg.
Since 1989, the group has been actively touring abroad and has made
appearances at numerous prestigious music festivals and concert venues.
