Arab World Premiere

Born in the former Soviet Union, the exceptional pianist Kirill Gerstein is an American citizen based in Berlin. He combines the traditions of Russian, American and Central European music-making with insatiable curiosity and formidable skill. Among his many accolades he counts the Gilmore Artist Award, presented every four years to a pianist who, regardless of nationality, possesses broad and profound musicianship and charisma, as well as the ability to sustain a career as a major international concert artist. His typically energetic, vibrant and imaginative programme takes us from Chopin, Fauré, Poulenc and Liszt, to Schumann and Godowsky.
