Leif Ove Andsnes is an internationally celebrated pianist recognized for his countless performances in the world’s leading concert halls, collaborations with esteemed orchestras, and extensive discography. An avid chamber musician, he is the founding director of the Rosendal Chamber Music Festival and was the co-artistic director of the Risør Festival of Chamber Music for nearly two decades. Recently, Andsnes performed three times at London’s Wigmore Hall, where he held a residency. Named the Mahler Chamber Orchestra’s first ever Artistic Partner, Andsnes has led the ensemble in major multi-season projects such as Mozart Momentum 1785/86, which produced numerous concerts and two critically acclaimed albums. Subsequently with the MCO, Andsnes conducted and performed “The Beethoven Journey,” a four-season series that toured to 27 countries, was chronicled in a documentary, and recorded three volumes of piano concertos. With more than fifty recordings in his discography, Andsnes has received eleven Grammy nominations and seven Gramophone awards. In 2013, he was inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame. Other achievements include Norway’s two honors, the Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav and the Peer Gynt Prize, as well as the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist Award and the Gilmore Artist Award. Andsnes is an Artistic Advisor at the Professor Jirí Hlinka Piano Academy in Bergen, Norway.
