Information

Now entering their second decade as an ensemble, the US-based Hermitage Piano Trio has solidified its place as one of the world’s leading piano trios, garnering multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, and receiving both audience and press accolades for their performances which the Washington Post singled out for “such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.”

A rarity in the chamber music world, the Trio brings together three accomplished soloists in their own right. Violinist Misha Keylin has performed in forty-five countries spanning five continents. He has captured special attention with his world-premiere CD series, released by Naxos, of Henri Vieuxtemps’ seven violin concertos and showpieces.  Hailed as “a brilliant cellist” by the legendary Mstislav Rostropovich, Sergey Antonov went on to prove his mentor’s proclamation when he became one of the youngest cellists ever awarded the gold medal at the world’s premier musical contest, the quadrennial International Tchaikovsky Competition.  And pianist Ilya Kazantsev, praised by The Washington Post as “virtually flawless,” has performed as a recitalist and a soloist with orchestras in Russia, Canada, Europe, and the United States, and has earned top prizes at the International Chopin Competition (Russia) and the World Piano Competition (USA). The Trio is a champion of an immense range of repertoire, from the works of the great European tradition to more contemporary American pieces.
