On the 25th of February, 2011, RUSQUARTET played its first season ticket concert in the Small Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The program comprised well known pieces as well as String Quartet No. 2 by Sergei Prokofiev (On Kabardinian Themes), Tchaikovsky’s Quartet No. 3, and a Russian premier of one-part Quartet by the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen «…miserere…».  In 2008 RUSQUARTET had already played this piece at a festival in Vancouver dedicated to the composer’s 70th birthday. Then the Quartet played all the five string quartets by the composer.
