The New Moscow Chamber Orchestra is a renowned classical music ensemble that has been captivating audiences around the world for over 40 years. Founded in 1978 by conductor and violinist Yuri Bashmet, the orchestra has become known for its exceptional musicianship and innovative programming.

He wanted to create a group that would be known for its precision and technical excellence, as well as its ability to interpret a wide range of musical styles. The ensemble quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional performances, and in 1982, it was invited to perform at the Salzburg Festival, one of the most prestigious classical music festivals in the world. This was a major milestone for the orchestra, and it helped to establish its reputation as one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world. Over the years, the New Moscow Chamber Orchestra has performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Berlin Philharmonic. The ensemble has also collaborated with some of the most renowned musicians of our time, including cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, pianist Martha Argerich, and violinist Gidon Kremer. One of the highlights of the orchestra's career was its performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. The ensemble was chosen to represent the Soviet Union at the games, and its performance was broadcast to millions of people around the world. This was a major honor for the orchestra, and it helped to cement its reputation as one of the finest classical music ensembles in the world. In addition to its many performances, the New Moscow Chamber Orchestra has also received numerous awards and accolades over the years. In 1992, the ensemble was awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation, one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a cultural institution in Russia.
