We are delighted to announce that the legendary Borodin Quartet have appointed Nikolai Sachenko as their new first violinist following the retirement of Ruben Aharonian.

Nikolai Sachenko commented: “The uncompromising pursuit of excellence in musical interpretations has been an unchanging tradition of the Borodin Quartet throughout its glorious long history. I am happy to join my friends and colleagues of the Quartet and, together in our shared passion for the quartet world, I hope to continue this remarkable tradition of musical eminence!”

Winner of the violin gold medal of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1998, Sachenko has performed with many acclaimed conductors
