Piano Master Class: Mikhail Voskresensky

Bard College Conservatory of Music Presents

Piano Master Class: Mikhail Voskresensky

Monday, March 27, 2023
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Formerly chair of the piano department at the Moscow Conservatory, now in exile in New York in protest of the invasion of Ukraine. 
Mikhail Voskresensky has an international reputation as a pianist in the great Romantic tradition. He graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where he studied under Ilia Klyachko, Boris Zemliansky, Yakob Milstein, Lev Oborin (piano) and Leonid Roizman (organ). He was prize-winner at the Schumann International Competition in Berlin, the International Competition in Rio de Janeiro, the George Enescu International Competition, and the Van Cliburn Competition. In 1957 he took part in the Prague Spring Festival where he performed European premiere of Shostakovich Second Piano concerto in the presence of Shostakovich himself. In 1966 he was honored with the Merited Artist of Russia award and in 1989 the People's Artist of Russia. Since then Mikhail Voskresensky has performed with more than 150 conductors in almost all countries of Europe, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, USA, Mexico, Cuba, Kenia, Zimbabwe and Peru.
He was a distinguished professor at the Moscow Conservatory, and the chair of the professorship of piano faculty, until he left Russia in 2022 in protest against the invasion of Ukraine.

An recent article in The Atlantic describes his current life in exile:
