On March 16, 2024, one of the greatest pianists of our time,

Mikhail Voskresensky, gave a solo recital to a sold-out audience at Tateuchi Hall, Finn Center in Mountain View, CA.

The program featured works by Haydn (Sonata in E minor),

Mozart (Rondo in A minor), Beethoven ("Moonlight" Sonata), Scriabin (Prelude and Nocturne for the Left Hand), and Prokofiev (Sonata No. 8).

This recital marked Mr. Voskresensky’s long-awaited debut in the San Francisco Bay Area, more than 60 years after his first appearance in the United States in 1963. With one of the longest international piano careers in the world, he made headlines in 2022 for publicly opposing the war in Ukraine. He left Russia that year and has since settled in New York.

Professor Voskresensky's Master Class at Stanford University

Pianist Mikhail Voskresensky was the longest-serving piano professor at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory before joining the Juilliard School as an Artist-in-Residence. Through his teacher, Lev Oborin—First Prize winner of the inaugural Chopin Competition—his pedagogical lineage traces back to Igumnov, Siloti, Liszt, and ultimately Beethoven.

A particularly memorable moment in his life was studying with the great 20th-century composer Dmitri Shostakovich, with whom Mr. Voskresensky prepared the European debut of Piano Concerto No. 2.

His students have won over 120 top prizes at major international competitions, and he has taught master classes at leading conservatories and universities around the world.

On March 17, 2024, in collaboration with Gradus ad Parnassum, Stanford University hosted a master class with Mr. Voskresensky and its finest piano students. The event drew an unprecedented public response and enthusiastic acclaim.
