LA Cello Quartet is a project of Positive Motions Foundation (501c(3) tax-exempt non-profit public corporation). It was initiated by Ruslan Biryukov, founder of the Glendale Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble was introduced first at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Fundraiser in Palos Verdes on May 20, 2010 and was enthusiastically received. Music making by four charismatic cellists-soloists immediately attracted attention of the public and the quartet was instantly placed into a category of the leading chamber music groups. LA Cello Quartet is dedicated to bringing the highest standards of the music art to the audiences from all walks of life.
