18 musicians form this orchestra, led by the british composer and pianist Vladimir Miller. Miller, deriving from a russian emigrant family and born in Chile, lives in Russia since the early 90's. He travelled a lot and performed with nearly all russian jazz musicians. By this, he got a deep insight into contemporary russian music.

Moscow Composers Orchestra

Moscow Composers Orchestra not only consists of moscow musicians. You will find musicians from Moscow, Smolensk, St. Petersburg, Vologda and Amsterdam; 'live at City Garden' hosts Sainkho Namtchylak from Tuva and Heinz-Erich Gödecke from Hamburg. But all of them have a strong connection to Moscow and so this title is ok.
