Unfortunately, the ensemble's concert on the 21th March 2020 at the Razumovsky Academy Recital Hall was cancelled due to the pandemic.

The ensemble including violinists Boris Brovtsyn, Anna-Liisa Bezrodny, Natalia Lomeiko and Yuri Zhislin and Alexander Zemtsov performed Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Violins Op.56, Brahms' String Sextet No.1 in B flat Major, Op.18 and Mendelssohn's String Octet in E flat Major Op.20 on the 24th February 2020 at the Middle Temple Hall.

The Razumovsky Ensemble is a chamber ensemble performing programmes using established performers on a variety of instruments. Cellist, Oleg Kogan founded the ensemble in 1998. Having a flexible group of performers results in concerts that range from the sublime to the not so good.
