The Moscow State Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1978 as an outgrowth of the need for the symphonic repertoire of the 18th, 19th and 20th, centuries to be broadcast throughout Russia for the benefit of its citizens. Performances are broadcasted on a weekly basis. Pianist, Alexander Sinchuk, First Prize Winner of the 2009 Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition, joins as guest soloist.
Pianist, Alexander Sinchuk, First Prize Winner of the 2009 Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition, made his Carnegie Hall Solo Recital debut performing works of Scriabin, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Rachmaninoff.
