The Amadeus Chamber Orchestra

The Orchestra has won recognition for its performances in such prominent Moscow Halls as the Rachmaninov, and the Small and Large Halls of the Moscow Conservatory, the Concert Hall of the House of Scientists, and others.

The orchestra's repertoire includes music from the baroque to the contemporary avant-garde, and frequently performs the music of Moscow composers of many generations, including V.Artemov, M.Vajnberg, E.Kozhevnikova, and others. The compositions of Ernest Bloch often appear on Amadeus' programs with the sponsorship of the American Ernest Bloch Society, with E.Ivanova as soloist in the composer's Concerto Grosso.

Other outstanding soloists, including I.Arkhipova, V.Piavko, and V.Krainev, have performed with the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra. Young, talented soloists such as O.Tomilova (oboe), P.Magaev (flute) and A. Dressler (clarinet) have appeared with the orchestra, as well as All-Russian competition prizewinners E.Derzhavina (First Prizewinner at the International Bach Piano Competition), R.Zamuruev (violin), I.Zimin (cello), A.Kozlov (saxophone), and O.Biktimirov, solo singer with the Bolshoi Theater. The orchestra also works in close cooperation with E.Sorokina and A.Bachchiev, faculty members of the Moscow Conservatory, as well as musical expert, Z.Dozortseva.

The Amadeus Chamber Orchestra has recorded the compositions of Russian and foreign composers in the studios of the Russian Radio. Its CD of Moscow composer, A.Melnikov-Markatov, was recently released in the USA by Sterling Classics.

The orchestra is a regular participant in the Moscow Autumn International Music Festival, and also has performed at the Glinka Festival in Smolensk.

Under the sponsorship of the Russian Copyright Society, IBERIA and Aeroflot Russian International Airlines, "Amadeus" has made concert tours in different cities and festivals of Spain.

On November 2003 took place a great success concert tour in different cities of Belgium and France. For the first time, one of the programs of the International Festival "Moscow Autumn" was played in Belgium, especially for the 10th. Anniversary "Friends of the Rode Pomp".
For this occasion were played contemporary works of Russians and Belgian composers.

The orchestra's high level of interpretation has inspirited to many composers for the creation of new works dedicated especially to "Amadeus" and his conductor Freddy Cadena, fixing in this way the repertoire for future festivals and concert tours.

At the moment, "Amadeus" has played more over 150 world premiers of works by composers from Russia, Europe, Japan, North and South America.
