The Moscow
Sinfonietta Chamber Orchestra was founded on 18 April, 2006, at the Pushkin
Museum of Moscow, following an exhaustive selection process among young
russian musicians, trained at the prestigious Tchaikowsky Conservatory of
Moscow. During selection, priority was given to the artistic and
professional attributes of the candidates, as well as their internationally
won prizes and recognition, resulting in a collective level of the highest
standard. Despite their youth, with an average age of some 27 years, they
can call upon much experience of performing in many countries, including
Germany, France, Spain, Russia, USA, Italy and Japan. Lead by the talented
young spanish pianist and composer Jose Luis Nieto, virtuoso and energetic
playing and interpretation are the principal characteristics inspiring the
performances of these young musicians of the russian school. Moscow
Sinfonietta has been revived from a historical background by the solist who
acts both as conductor and interpreter. New and original repertoires,
drawing upon classical and experimental innovation such as a fusion of
flamenco and contemporary classical, provide a wide musical experience. With
strength and quality, Sinfonietta Moscu burst into the musical market with
the appearance of their inaugural CD. Despite their short history, the group
already has a full agenda of concerts for the forthcoming season
essentially in
Portugal,
Spain, Russia and Italy.
