“The brilliant Russian pianist Nikolai Lugansky” – The New York Times
Top prize winner of the 10th International Tchaikovsky Competition, pianist Nikolai Lugansky has been lauded for over three decades by major venues and critics, including the Kennedy Center, the Berliner Philharmoniker, the London Symphony Orchestra, and Wigmore Hall. His appearances in California have been few and far between, and we are delighted to bring him to Silicon Valley this season.
“Lugansky is not simply the most wonderful Russian pianist of modern times; he is one of the most outstanding artists of our epoch…” – Le Monde
Don’t miss this BONUS concert to hear for yourself why his Schumann interpretations have been characterized as an “extraordinarily romantic vision,” and why BBC Music Magazine awarded his 2026 release of Schumann’s major solo piano works 5 stars and named it its “Instrumental Choice.”
