DESCRIPTION:Misha Rachlevsky\, conductor\n\nThe FIU School of Music and the
  Friends of Chamber Music of Miami bring you a glorious program of classic
 al music when Moscow’s finest young string ensemble\, the Russian String
  Orchestra\, brings its virtuosity amd warmth to the Wertheim Concert Hall
 . The Russian String Orchestra\, formerly known as Chamber Orchestra Kreml
 in\, has performed to acclaim under the creative mastery of its founder an
 d music director Misha Rachlevsky. The orchestra’s discography of more t
 han 30 CDs has received widespread accolades\, such as the Diapason d’OR
  award in France\, Critics Choice in London’s Gramophone\, Record of the
  Year award in Hong Kong and Critics Choice in The New York Times.\n\n \n\
 nAbout the orchestra\n\nFounded in 1991\, the orchestra\, comprised of som
 e of Russia’s finest young string players\, has carved a niche for itsel
 f under the creative baton of its founder and music director Misha Rachlev
 sky. Whether it is the highly-acclaimed CDs or its mesmerizing concerts\, 
 Chamber Orchestra Kremlin’s warmth and high energy create addictive perf
 ormances that stay with listeners long after the last note has been played
 .\n\nAbout half of nearly 2\,000 concerts the orchestra has performed to d
 ate have taken place in Moscow\, the rest were played on tours in 25 count
 ries in North and South America\, Europe and the Far East. The orchestra
 ’s discography of over 30 CDs has received widespread international accl
 aim\, such as the Diapason d’Or award in France\, Critics Choice in Lond
 on’s Gramophone\, Critics Choice in The New York Times\, and Record of t
 he Year award in Hong Kong.\n\nThe signature quality of the orchestra is t
 he depth and variety of its repertoire — over 1000 compositions from ear
 ly baroque to works written on commission from Misha Rachlevsky and the or
 chestra by composers from Russia\, Europe and the USA.  The orchestra prid
 es itself in offering interesting and often unique programs\, not only for
  its home audience\, but on tour as well.\n\nFrom Frankfurter Allgemeine\,
  summarizing its review of the orchestra’s debut at Frankfurt’s Alte O
 per: “The evening with this ensemble\, which boasts to be made up of Mos
 cow’s best musicians\, completely eliminated any doubts with regard to t
 his statement.”\n\n \n\nAbout Misha Rachlevsky \n\nMisha Rachlevsky’s 
 lifetime affinity for chamber music and chamber orchestra repertoire began
  at the College of the Moscow Conservatory and the Gnessin Academy of Musi
 c. Born in Moscow\, his violin studies began at the age of five and contin
 ued through the well-traveled path of the Russian school of string playing
 . After leaving the Soviet Union in 1973\, he lived and worked in differen
 t countries on three continents\, and in 1976 settled in the United States
 \, becoming active in the field of chamber music.\n\nMr. Rachlevsky founde
 d the New American Chamber Orchestra (NACO) in 1984\, and led it to intern
 ational prominence\, completing nine European tours in four years.\n\nIn 1
 989\, Rachlevsky accepted an offer from the city of Granada\, Spain – a 
 two-year project under which NACO became the resident orchestra of Granada
  while\, concurrently\, Rachlevsky founded and led Granada’s own chamber
  orchestra. In 1991\, in the heady aftermath of Moscow’s momentous event
 s of August 1991\, Misha Rachlevsky found it impossible to resist an oppor
 tunity presented by Claves to record Russian works for this label. When Cl
 aves concurred with his suggestion to realize the project with Russian mus
 icians\, Rachlevsky called auditions\, and Chamber Orchestra Kremlin was c
 reated.\n\n \n\nAbout Alex Fiterstein\n\nClarinetist Alexander Fiterstein 
 is considered one of today’s most exceptional artists. Fiterstein has pe
 rformed in recital\, with distinguished orchestras\, and with chamber musi
 c ensembles throughout the world. He won first prize at the Carl Nielsen I
 nternational Clarinet Competition and received the prestigious Avery Fishe
 r Career Grant Award. The Washington Post has described his playing as “
 dazzling in its spectrum of colors\, agility\, and range. Every sound he m
 akes is finely measured without inhibiting expressiveness” and The New Y
 ork Times described him as “a clarinetist with a warm tone and powerful 
 technique.”
