Evgeny Kissin

Evgeny Kissin, the Russian-born concert pianist and composer, has captivated global audiences for over three decades with his virtuosity and profound musicality. Born in Moscow in 1971, Kissin began playing the piano by ear at the astonishing age of two, and by six, he had entered a specialized music school. His international breakthrough came in the 1980s, and since then, he has been hailed as a living legend in the classical music world.

Kissin's repertoire is vast, but he is particularly renowned for his interpretations of Romantic era composers such as Chopin, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff. His playing is characterized by a rare technical mastery that serves his deeply poetic and lyrical interpretations, making him a worthy successor to the great Russian piano tradition. Beyond his concert performances, Kissin has also explored composition, adding another dimension to his artistic legacy. A British citizen since 2002 and an Israeli citizen since 2013, Kissin continues to inspire with his bold and imaginative performances, fearlessly sharing his unique musical vision with the world.
