About the Artist

Russian-American pianist Alexandre Moutouzkine has toured as a soloist with over 60 orchestras across
Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Highlights of those performances include appearances with
Cleveland Orchestra, Berliner Philharmoniker, Israel Philharmonic and Israel Camerata, Orchestre
Symphonique de Montréal, Philharmonic Orchestras of Moscow and Kiev and Radiotelevision Orchestra of
Spain.

As a recitalist and chamber musician, Alexandre has performed at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium and Zankel
Hall, The Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, The Kimmel Center, Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv, Royal
Hall in London, The Great Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic, Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, National Centers
of Toronto and Montreal, Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall in Japan.

Alexandre’s recital at Wigmore Hall was described by International Piano magazine as “grandly organic, with
many personal and pertinent insights, offering a thoughtful balance between rhetoric and fantasy…technically
dazzling.” Alexandre’s recital of Frédéric Chopin’s Études at the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory was
recorded live and released on the Classical Music Archives label in Russia.

Alexandre has claimed top prizes at more than 20 international competitions, including Naumburg, Cleveland,
Montreal, New Orleans, Shanghai, Iturbi in Valencia, Maria Canals in Barcelona, and Arthur Rubinstein in Tel
Aviv. At age 19, he won the Special Award for Artistic Potential for his performance of Brahms’ Op. 117
Intermezzi. A Dallas Morning News critic described it as being played “more beautifully, more movingly, than
I've ever heard them. At once sad, tender and noble, this was playing of heart-stopping intimacy and elegance.”
Other career highlights include a performance of Rachmaninoff’s complete works in a six-part recital series with
the Carnegie Concert Series in Nyack and the reception of the “Artist of the Season” award from Chamber
Music International in Dallas.

His record of Cuban piano music released through Steinway & Sons was recognized by WRTI as one of the top
10 classical music recordings picks for 2017. It also won the Cubadisco award for the best classical music
recording in Cuba. Alexandre most recently released a Steinway and Sons recording, “Ravel & Stravinsky” with
violinist Chloé Kiffer. This album features his solo piano transcription of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, which
debuted at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center and New York’s 92Y.

Alexandre has served as an adjudicator for the Concours International Genève Musicale, Bartok Competition in
Budapest, Maria Canals in Barcelona, Santa Cecilia in Porto, Panama International Piano Competition, New
Orleans International Piano Competition, and Vladimir Krainev Competition in Moscow.
Alexandre is co-head of the piano department at Manhattan School of Music. His students have won top prizes
in numerous competitions throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia. He is a sought-after
teacher and guest artist at music festivals around the world including Beijing International Piano Festival, Paris
International Music Academy and MusicAlp Festival in France, Music Fest Perugia, Forum Musicae in Madrid,
and the International Piano Festival Genève Musicale.
