How long was modest mussorgsky in the band the mighty five?

The Mighty Five was not a band. It was a term invented in 1867 by the Russian music critic, Vladimir Stasov, to describe a circle of composers who typified the Russian spirit in music. The five were Mily Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, Cesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
