GERSTEIN / MASTERCLASS CHAMBER MUSIC
© Lucien Grandjean
Academy soloists
Kirill Gerstein brings clarity and curiosity to his chamber music work. A former student of Solomon Mikowsky, Dmitri Bashkirov, and Ferenc Rados, he challenges musicians to think before they play — to balance structure with spontaneity and to approach interpretation as shared exploration.
