23-year-old Russian pianist GLEB IVANOV* is “eerily like the ghost of Horowitz… His talent is larger than life,” wrote The Washington Times.    

 

Mr. Ivanov won the 2005 Young Concert Artists International Auditions and was also awarded a grant from the Jack Romann Special Artists Fund of YCA.  He won critical praise for his debut recitals at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall in New York and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, presented by Young Concert Artists during the 2005-2006 season.  He made his New York concerto debut in April 2007 with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at the Rose Theater at Jazz at Lincoln Center as part of YCA’s annual Irene Diamond concert.

 

During the 2007-2008 season, Mr. Ivanov appears as soloist with the Florida West Coast Symphony, Bowling Green (KY) Western Symphony Orchestra and Danville (IL) Symphony Orchestra.  He has been reengaged at the Louvre in Paris and in the U.S. gives recitals and educational residencies in nine states.  He was also invited to participate and perform in Pianofest, the summer festival in East Hampton, NY.

 

Mentored by the late Mstislav Rostropovich, Mr. Ivanov performed with the famous maestro, as soloist with the Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic.  He has performed Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 with the Moscow State Orchestra under the baton of Dmitri Orlov, Prokofiev’s Concerto No. 3 in the Great Hall at Moscow Conservatory with Anatoli Levin conducting, and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 13 at the Kremlin conducted by Misha Rachlefsky.  He has also performed at the Pushkin, Glinka, and Scriabin Museums in Moscow. 

 

Mr. Ivanov won First Prizes at the 1994 and 1996 International “Classical Legacy” Competitions in Moscow, the Laureate Prize at the 1997 Moscow International Festival for Young Soloists, and the prize for Best Performance of a Beethoven Sonata at the First International Vladimir Horowitz Competition in Kiev in 1995.  In 2003, he received scholarships from the Rostropovich Foundation and the Russian Performing Arts Foundation.  He is a recipient of a Musical Studies Grant from the Bagby Foundation.

 

Born in Moscow, Mr. Ivanov comes from a family of musicians, and he began to accompany his father’s vocal recitals at the age of eight.  He has also played the clarinet and the accordion, and holds a diploma in clarinet from Lyardov High School.  He graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, studying with V.V. Sedova, N.G. Sooslova, and L.N. Naumov, and worked with Nina Svetlanova at the Manhattan School of Music, where he received The Harold and Helene Schonberg Piano Scholarship.
