The string quartet from Moscow, named after one of the most significant representatives
of violin playing, consists of four excellent instrumentalists. Its first violinist is Andrey Baranov, known to us already from his solo appearances at BMF as well as within the concert seasons of the Slovak Philharmonic. Andrey Baranov is a winner of one of the most prestigious world competitions – the Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition in Brussels (2012).
He also won the Benjamin Britten and Henri Marteau international competitions, and over
two dozens of other competitions, including the ones in Indianapolis, Seoul, and even the
Paganini Competition in Moscow. The principal work in the brilliant programme will be the
expressive String Quartet No. 8 by Dmitri Shostakovich.
