St Petersburg’s
Terem-Quartet is a unique orchestra – an ensemble that opens up unchartered musical territories, an innovative ensemble and the first ensemble in the world that also composes music. Since the very day that it was founded on 26 November 1986 this musical ensemble has never been afraid to experiment. Collaborating with jazz and rock musicians, concerts with symphony orchestras and folklore ensembles, opera and ballet projects, a performance at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest with a rousing version of legendary stage hits and even performing at Karl Lagerfeld’s House of Chanel
Paris–Moscow fashion show – all of this bears witness to the continued artistic discoveries the
Terem-Quartet Russian musical ensemble has been making ever since.
