"Chamber music, the most intimate form of classical music, has long been associated with permanent groups such as string quartets or piano trios. But the Razumovsky Ensemble has blazed onto the scene with a new concept.

Taking its name from Beethoven’s Ukrainian-born patron, Count Razumovsky, it is more than a 'flexible' group. Its founder and artistic director, Ukrainian-born cellist Oleg Kogan, chooses different colleagues for each concert from a pool of dynamic freelance soloists and section leaders from world-class orchestras- musicians who share his passion for chamber music. The extraordinary thing is that no matter who is playing, no matter the repertoire – anything from duos to octets – Kogan and his friends habitually raise the roof, earning astonishing reviews and establishing a devoted following.

It’s a heady cocktail of commitment, responsiveness, respect and Kogan’s intuitive ability to choose top performers who share a wavelength.

…This is just the beginning of what seems certain to be an illustrious future."
