Kirill Gerstein

Already recognized for his deeply musical interpretations and masterful technique, Kirill Gerstein was the First Prize winner at the 2001 Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition in Tel Aviv and has concertized in the intervening years in virtually all major international music centres.

In the season 2007/08, he'll appear with the Philadelphia Orchestra (Dutoit), San Francisco Symphony (Dudamel), Royal Liverpool Philharmonic (Petrenko), Munich Philharmonic and Filarmonica della Scala (Bychkov), SWR Symphony Orchestra Freiburg (Gielen), Dallas Symphony (Varga), Finnish Radio (Nezet-Seguin), and Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra (Maalki), and return engagements with the Houston and Baltimore Symphony Orchestras (Graf), Gurzenich Orchestra Cologne (Krivine) and the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra (Alsop), among many others.

Gerstein will perform solo recitals throughout Europe, including at the famed Liszt Academy in Budapest and at Wigmore Hall in London. He will also continue his chamber music collaborations with Stephen Isserlis as well as the piano trio with Kolja Blacher and Clemens Hagen. The season will close with his Salzburg Festival debut in two projects with András Schiff.
