In August and September, RNO Founder and Artistic Director Mikhail Pletnev led the orchestra in several performances at the InClassica International Music Festival, which for the first time in its 10-year history was held in Dubai. Pletnev sat down for a rare interview with TASS, and talked about the RNO's performances in Dubai, as well as his vision for classical music.

Three RNO musicians have recorded and published a recording of Brahms' Trio for Piano, Violin, and Horn, Op. 40.

In August and September the Russian National Orchestra performed at the international classical music festival InClassica.

The Russian National Orchestra is teaming up with Kultura TV to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Alexander Scriabin's birth.

It is with great sadness that the RNO notes the passing of a superb artist and a musician who has been with the RNO since its very beginning. Vyacheslav Pavlovich Pachkayev, a trombonist, passed away in June.
