Ruben Aharonian leaves Borodin Quartet
The legendary Borodin Quartet have appointed Nikolai Sachenko as their new first violinist following the retirement of Ruben Aharonian. Ruben Aharonian joined the Borodin Quartet in 1996, after having enjoyed a highly successful career as a soloist and conductor.
During his almost 25 years in the Quartet, Aharonian leaves a towering legacy in the same way that the former long-standing members of the group such as Rostislav Dubinsky, Mikhail Kopelman, Valentin Berlinsky, and Dmitri Shebalin did.
Nikolai Sachenko joins colleagues Sergei Lomovsky (violin), Igor Naidin (viola) and Vladimir Balshin (cello) who say: “We would like to express our greatest appreciation to the magnificent maestro Ruben Aharonian for leading the Quartet for almost a quarter of a century. Those have been unforgettable years, playing concerts together in the best halls around the globe.”
