“Her playing was generous and warm, though the concentration was absolutely formidable” —The Guardian 

Yulianna Avdeeva gained worldwide recognition at the 2010 Chopin Competition, where she won First Prize with a “detailed way of playing” that “matched Chopin’s own” (The Telegraph). A favorite artist in Europe with recurring concert engagements at Poland’s Warsaw Philharmonic, Prague’s Rudolfinum, Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal, Vienna’s Konzerthaus, and Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, Avdeeva has also given concerts for Ukrainian relief, including one together with Anne-Sophie Mutter at the Lucerne Chamber Music Festival. Among her extensive orchestral collaborators are the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and Pittsburgh Symphony. A dedicated chamber musician, Avdeeva has toured regularly throughout Europe with appearances at Wigmore Hall, Tonhalle Zurich, and Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, among others. In addition to being a regular guest at Festival Chopin Warsaw and the Festival International de Piano La Roque d’Anthéron, recent seasons have seen Avdeeva in recital at the Salzburg Festival, Palau de la Música Catalana, Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, and Shostakovich Festival Saxony.
