Alexander Malofeev (piano) performs at VCU’s Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series

The young “Russian genius” (Corriere della Sera) came to international prominence when, in 2014, he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at age thirteen. “Contrary to what could be expected of a youngster …, he demonstrated not only high technical accuracy but also an incredible maturity. Crystal clear sounds and perfect balance revealed his exceptional ability” (Amadeus). Malofeev has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation. His performances have garnered high praise from critics, with publications such as Der Standard declaring his debut at the Musikverein as “a world piano revolution”.

On November 3rd he will visit Richmond to perform at VCU’s Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series (W. E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts). He will be performing solo piano works by Schubert, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin.
