Yulianna Avdeeva achieved worldwide recognition at the 2010 Chopin Competition, where she won the First Prize.
Well-established as a concert pianist in Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and Asia, Yulianna’s latest recording, Resilience (Pentatone), focuses on the story of composer Wladyslaw Szpilman, whose album includes music by Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and Weinberg. In the coming months, Yulianna will make a new recording featuring late works by Liszt and late pieces by Chopin, along with Sonata No. 2.
Yulianna has performed concerts at the Warsaw Philharmonic, the Rudolfinum in Prague, the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. She has also given benefit concerts to support Ukraine alongside Anne-Sophie Mutter at the Lucerne Chamber Music Festival.
Following her debuts last season at Carnegie Hall, the Rockport Festival, and her return to Tippet Rise with Gidon Kremer, Yulianna’s engagements this season include concerts with Joana Mallwitz and the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin, Tugan Sokiev and the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, Manfred Honeck and the WDR Symphony Cologne, James Conlon and the Baltimore Symphony, Peter Popelka and the Pittsburgh Symphony, or with Tugan Sokhiev and the Chicago Symphony, to name a few. She tours Japan both in recital and in concerts with the Orchestra of the 18th Century.
Her recital activity this season includes Chicago, Leeds, Cardiff, Hamburg, Zaragoza, Madrid, Alicante, Tenerife, Geneva, or Prague, with programs ranging from Hammer Klavier to Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, Bach, and, of course, Szpilman, Weinberg, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich.
Piano enthusiasts worldwide also enjoy her online educational project, the #AvdeevaBachProject, which she launched during the COVID-19 lockdown and garnered over half a million views.
