The Krasnoyarsk Chamber Orchestra was established as a professional organization by the Administration of Krasnoyarsk in May, 1993. But orchestra's artistic style, repertoire, ensemble concord were formed long time before in the Student Orchestra of Krasnoyarsk Institute of Arts, which had been known as "Curanta-2001". The founder and artistic director of the Orchestra is Mikhail Benioumov, Honored Artist of Russia, BA, Professor, head of the string department of the Krasnoyarsk State Academy of Music and Theatre. Most of the violinists of the Orchestra are his former students. That is to explain the unity of school and performing style. The important contribution to the development of the orchestra made Larissa Markossian. Since first days of the orchestra's existing she had not only performed as a soloist, but also held a post of director. In 2003 the director's position accepted Irina Katz. The permanent performances of the Krasnoyarsk Chamber Orchestra are the essential part of the Krasnoyarsk cultural life.
