Student tickets go on sale on Monday 6 October 2014
Born in Nizhniy Novgorod in 1991, Daniil Trifonov has already established himself, in the relatively short period since he first came to international prominence in 2011, as one of the finest musical talents to have appeared in the last two decades. His reputation for outstanding performances, musical insight and expressive intensity has already surpassed the attention he received when, during the 2010/11 season, he won medals at three of the most prestigious competitions in the music world: the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, the Rubinstein Competition in Tel Aviv (First Prize) and the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (First Prize and Grand Prix). Recent highlights for Trifonov have included debuts with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (tour and subscription concerts in Vienna), London Symphony Orchestra and Mariinsky Orchestra with Gergiev, Israel Philharmonic with Mehta, and Russian National Orchestra with Pletnev. The audience responses and reviews he has received throughout the season have consistently marked him out as one of the outstanding talents of today.
Trifonov’s upcoming recitals include Washington Kennedy Center, New York Carnegie Hall (Stern Auditorium), Boston Celebrity Series, Berlin Kammermusiksaal der Philharmonie, Munich Herkulessaal, Amsterdam Concertgebouw (main auditorium), London Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall, Paris Auditorium du Louvre, Zurich Tonhalle and Lucerne Piano Festival, Brussels Palais de Beaux Arts, Schloss Elmau, Seoul Arts Center and many others.
