ABOUT
Evgeny Kissin’s musicality, the depth and poetic quality of his interpretations, and his extraordinary virtuosity have earned him the veneration and admiration deserved only by one of the most gifted classical pianists of his generation and, arguably, generations past. He is in demand all over the world and has appeared with many of the world’s great conductors, including Abbado, Ashkenazy, Barenboim, Dohnanyi, Giulini, Karajan, Levine, Maazel, Muti, and Ozawa, as well as all the great orchestras of the world.
This season, Mr. Kissin returns to tour North America, Europe and Asia in a recital program featuring works by Bach, Chopin, and Shostakovich. In the fall, he visits Taipei, Seoul and major cities across Japan. His spring tour of North America takes him to Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Chicago, and New York. The tour will culminate with three performances at Carnegie Hall commemorating the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s death. Besides a solo recital, he will perform the violin, viola and cello sonatas with Gidon Kremer, Maxim Rysanov and Gautier Capuçon respectively. The third program will present a selection of Shostakovich's chamber works, featuring the Four Verses of Captain Lebyadkin, and From Jewish Folk Poetry song cycles, along with the Piano Quintet, and Piano Trio No. 2.
