Moscow on the Musconetcong in October 24th Concert in
the New David and Carol Lackland Center at Centenary

"[conductor] Misha Rachlevsky elicited warm, full-blooded and
virtuosic playing with colorfully shaped, gleaming phrases."
                       NY Times 2008

Moscow meets the Musconetcong on October 24th when one of Russia's finest ensembles, the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, performs in the new Sitnik Theatre of the David and Carol Lackland Center as part of the Centenary Stage Company 2010-11 performing arts season. The 2:30 PM concert on the campus of Centenary College will include the works of Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Rossini, among other classical favorites.

Founded in Moscow in 1991 by Misha Rachlevsky, the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin has earned national and international recognition over the past 2 decades, garnering a catalogue of award-winning CD's. The San Francisco Classical Voice hailed the orchestra as "supurb.," saying, "The Russians handled the music at hand with uncanny musicality, precision and verve”. The recording of Six Sonatas for Strings is Chamber Orchestra Kremlin's most celebrated disc to date, having won both the Repertoire and Diapason d'Or awards in Paris and Gramophone's Critics Choice award in London.

Founder and musical director Misha Rachlevsky's affinity for chamber orchestra repertoire was shaped by his training at the Moscow Conservatory. He subsequently founded the New American Chamber Orchestra, and led it to international prominence, completing nine European tours in four years. In 1991 he was presented with the opportunity by Claves to record Russian works for the label, which Rachlevsky moved to realize with Russian musicians, and the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin was created.

Led by Rachlevsky, the Hackettstown concert will include "Sonata in C Major” by Gioacchino Rossini, "Visions Fugitives” by Sergei Prokoviev, and "Serenade for Strings” (Opus 48) by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, as well as the "Susanin Aria” for Double Bass and Orchestra by Glinka.
