AFTER leading the renowned Borodin Quartet for 20 years, Mikhail Kopelman formed his own string quartet. Now Malvern Concert Club has scored the considerable coup of getting one of the world's greatest ensembles to visit the town.
Mikhail Kopelman left his position as first violinist in the Borodin Quartet when he emigrated to the USA in 1996. He spent six years leading another renowned ensemble, the Tokyo Quartet, but the pull of Russian musicianship was strong and he decided to found his own quartet.
For the Malvern concert on Thursday, May 17, the quartet will be playing an all-Russian programme. Tickets are available from the Malvern Theatres box office on 01684 892277.
