Described by Alfred Schnittke as “an extraordinary ensemble that distinguishes itself with refined musical style, an unusually beautiful sound, and a tremendous artistic temperament”, the Moscow String Quartet has emerged as one of the major Russian chamber ensembles of today. Known as passionate promoters of twentieth century Western music inRussia and contemporary Soviet music in the West, the quartet was inspired by the great Russian masters. The Moscow String Quartet has recorded for MCA, Fine Arts Records, Chant Du Monde, Channel Classics, Russian Disc and Melodiya, including works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Ravel, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Taneyev, Denisov, and Schnittke. A Shostakovich recording is scheduled for release. The Quartet has been also featured in documentaries about Alfred Schnittke (1989, Russian TV) and Sofia Gubaidulina (1988-1989, BBC). And a documentary about the Moscow String Quartet was later produced by Denver Center Media (1994).

The Moscow String quartet, quartet in residence at the Denver School of the Arts, will provide master classes, coaching and sectional clinics for our students. In addition, first violinist, Eugenia Alikhanova will be offering private violin instruction at DSA on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays after school. Please contact her by email if you are interested in private violin study: EAlikhanova@gmail.com
