CAMERATA TCHAIKOVSKY Chamber Orchestra
Yuri Zhislin, Founder and Music Director
The Camerata Tchaikovsky (formerly The Russian Virtuosi of Europe) chamber orchestra brings together some of the finest string players from across Europe.
Since their critically acclaimed Wigmore Hall debut in 2004, they have enjoyed performances across the UK (London's Cadogan Hall, Kings Place and St John's Smith Square),as well as Russia, Western Europe and South America, appearing in the legendary Moscow Conservatoire, Salle Gaveau in Paris, Stadtscasino in Basel, Teatro Coliseo in Buenos Aires and Teatro Solis in Montevideo.
The ensemble has been a regular visitor to the London Chamber Music Society Series at London's Kings Place since 2011. They have collaborated with the renowned trumpeter Sergei Nakariakov, the British saxophone star Jess Gillam, the Swedish soprano Karin Dahlberg and the "father" of Russian Rock Boris Grebenshikov among many others.
The orchestra's debut album on the Orchid Classics label was chosen "orchestral CD of the month" by the BBC Music Magazine in April 2016.
Future plans include a return tour to Russia, Western Europe and South America.
Camerata Tchaikovsky's new album 'Russian Colours' is now available

In December 2021 a Christmas Album "Christmas Without Words" was released on Orchid Classic Label. This album is a collection of mostly Christmas favourites, arranged for a sting orchestra.
