Stepan Simonian / Klavierabend

Celebrated by the music press as »one of the great Bach interpreters of his generation«, Stepan Simonian wants to make the great piano works of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, of Beethoven, Mozart and of course Bach himself, shine in all their complexity. Winning the silver medal at the 2010 Leipzig Bach Competition, extensive studies at the Moscow Conservatoire under Pavel Nersessian and Oleg Boshniakovich and later with Evgeni Koroliov in Hamburg: these are some of the experiences that have moulded Simonian’s self-image, his interpretations and his teaching.
