Kirill Gerstein(Piano)

Fascination for musical discovery combined with boundless curiosity, imagination, and virtuosity have established Kirill Gerstein as one of today’s most prolific and compelling performers. Gerstein is a searching artist. As a pianist, curator, educator, musical leader, and artistic collaborator, his exploration of resonant themes across a vast spectrum of repertoire - from Baroque suites and Classical concerti to contemporary creations, jazz, and cabaret – has nourished relationships with many of the world’s leading orchestras, conductors, instrumentalists, singers, composers, festivals, recording labels, and media platforms.

Most recently, Gerstein was Artist-in-Residence with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Spotlight Artist with the London Symphony Orchestra, Resident Artist at the Festival Aix-en-Provence, and curated a three-part “Busoni and his World” concert series at London’s Wigmore Hall. He also released an acclaimed album with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko celebrating Rachmaninov’s 150th anniversary, presented, alongside jazz master, Brad Mehldau, an innovative program contrasting composed and improvised music as part of his residency at the Ruhr Piano Festival, and, at Tanglewood, performed Berlin cabaret songs of the 1920s with iconic performance artist and composer, HK Gruber.

Media projects, broadcasts, and digital innovation represent an integral part of Gerstein’s creativity. He has recorded for Platoon/Apple Music, myrios, Deutsche Grammophon, DECCA, Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings,with performances filmed by Unitel, Accentus Music, and EuroArts, broadcast on ORF, BBC, ARTE, and Marquee TV, and streamed on medici.tv and STAGE+. Gerstein’s latest media project entitled “Music in Time of War”, pairs late piano works by Claude Debussy with pieces by Armenian priest, musicologist, and composer Vardapet Komitas. Expanding the traditional album concept, the recording is integrated into a hardcover book containing a wealth of documentary images and specially commissioned original scholarship.
