Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra
The Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1978 as an outgrowth of the need for the symphonic repertoire of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries to be broadcast throughout Russia for the benefit of its citizens. It was decided that the orchestra should broadcast performances on a weekly basis. Presently the orchestra follows the European music tradition and does not have a permanent Chief Conductor. Music Director Anatoli Nemudrov invites maestros from Russia and abroad in order to facilitate the continuing development and mastery of the musicians.
Alexei Kornienko, music director
Alexei Kornienko is a deeply committed musician whose musical drive is rooted in a strong sense of loyalty to the composer's intentions within the score, as well as in a modern responsibility to interpret and demonstrate his individuality in performance. The results of his work are always charged by his personal obsession for music. In 1986, after acting as the Conductor of Concerts for the USSR, Kornienko was appointed professor of piano at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. In 1990, after relocating to Austria, Kornienko was appointed music director of the Collegium Musicum Carinthia chamber orchestra. In 1995, he was engaged as guest conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra before founding the Classical Etcetera music series in 1997. In 2001, he was appointed artistic director of the Worthersee Classical Festival. He was engaged as the music director of the Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2005.
Alexander Sinchuk, piano
Alexander Sinchuk began his study of the piano in the Children's Art School under Elena Kulikova in 1995, at the age of seven and by the age of nine had begun to participate in regional competitions of young musicians, in which he was a winner several times. In March of 2002, he entered and won First Prize in the International Competition for Pianists in Vladivostok, Russia. And in February 2009, Sinchuk made his Carnegie Hall solo recital in Weill Recital Hall.
Julian Schwarz, cello
18-year old Julian Schwarz made his orchestral debut at the age of 11 playing the Saint-Saens Concerto No. 1 with the Seattle Symphony with his father, Music Director Gerard Schwarz, on the podium. Since then he has appeared as a soloist with many of the Seattle area orchestras including the Bellevue Philharmonic, Philharmonia Northwest and the Port Angeles, Eastern and Sammamish symphonies. Recent and upcoming appearances include performances with the Greensboro (NC) Symphony, Lake Union Civic Orchestra, San Diego's Tifereth Israel Orchestra, and return engagements with the Seattle Symphony and Port Angeles Symphony.
