Described by The Times as 'without doubt, one of the world's greatest living musicians', Yuri Bashmet is the pre-eminent viola player of the modern age. With his virtuosity, strength of personality and high intelligence, he has given the viola a new prominence and has motivated composers like Shostakovich, Schnittke and Gubaidulina to expand the viola repertoire and to dedicate works to him. Bashmet is the Artistic Director of the December Nights Festival (Moscow), Principal Conductor of the 'Novaya Rossiya' State Symphony Orchestra, and is a founder and director of the Grammy Award-winning Russian orchestra Moscow Soloists, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012. World class cellist Mischa Maisky also appears on the program.
