Rustem Hayroudinoff: Classical Pianist performs Virtuosi

Described by London’s Classic FM Magazine as a “sensationally gifted” musician of “stunning artistry”, Rustem Hayroudinoff is an equally charismatic communicator. Like Leonard Bernstein before him, he demystifies the world of classical music by engaging his audience in a light and humorous, yet informative rhetoric about the works he performs. As a result, his listeners have a deeper understanding of the music and often comment on the huge difference his oration has made to their listening experience. This direct approach and informal style is also perfect for attracting younger audiences.

The engagements in 2015-16 include Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 1 with the Bochum Symphony Orchestra in Germany, Tchaikovsky’s Concert Fantasia at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires and in Tokyo with the NHK Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy as well as recitals around Europe and North America. Among the orchestras Rustem Hayroudinoff has performed with are the Tokyo Symphony, Osaka Century, Czech Philharmonic, Czech National Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and Bournemouth Symphony orchestras. Rustem Hayroudinoff studied with Lev Naumov at the Moscow Conservatory and with Christopher Elton at the Royal Academy of Music, where he is now a Professor of Piano.
