“The Music World is taking note of Nikolay Khozyainov’s stunning virtuosity and prodigious technique.”
–New York Times

Master of Romantic tone. The New York Times wrote that the music world was taking notice of the “stunning virtuosity and prodigious technique” of Nikolay Khozyainov, and audiences agree: they have acclaimed his performances at Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow.

He made his debut at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory at the age of seven and went on to study at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Khozyainov has won first prizes in numerous international competitions and was awarded Distinction in the 2010 Fryderyk Chopin Competition, where he was the youngest finalist.

His powers of expression as a great Romantic artist perhaps come in part from the way Khozyainov views music. As he told Russian Mind, “Whenever I play, I express what I am feeling and thinking about the music and give all of my heart to the audience. I aim to be myself and always try to be completely honest. Every composer speaks as if they were addressing their god and, when re-creating their works, we performers should seek to find that voice.”
