“…a poetic sensitivity to match the technical fireworks…” –Boston Classical Review

Kirill Gerstein’s versatility, clarity of expression, and virtuosity have propelled him to the top of his profession. First prize winner at the 10th Arthur Rubinstein Competition, he is also the recipient of a Gilmore Young Artist Award, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and a Gilmore Artist Award. He has commissioned new works from composers including Timo Andres, Chick Corea, Oliver Knussen, and Brad Mehldau. Highlights of his 2017-18 season included debuts with the Pittsburgh and National symphonies; re-engagements with the Minnesota Orchestra and the Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco symphonies; and appearances in Europe with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Bavaria Radio Orchestra, the BBC Proms, and the Czech, Rotterdam, Stockholm, and Oslo Philharmonics.
