Kirill Richter and Richter Trio in Dusseldorf. Seven Ages 28 November 2023

Richter Trio: Kirill Richter (piano), Alena Zinovieva (violin), August Krepak (cello)

The young pianist and composer Kirill Richter is the most outstanding representative of the Russian neoclassical music scene. His bright and emotional compositions invariably amaze the audience, no matter where they are performed: in a chamber setting or in large concert halls. Richter began his career in 2016 with a performance in the Column Hall of the House of Unions, the legendary Moscow concert hall, where the young composer created a sensation. Since then, Richter's career has developed rapidly: he has given dozens of concerts, from solo piano evenings to performances with orchestras. He wrote music for numerous full-length and short films, theater and choreographic productions. Richter has performed at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, at Classical:Next in Rotterdam and at the British festival The Great Escape, at the Berlin Philharmonic, and at the Elbphilharmonie.

Kirill Richter is a master of form, a wizard of emotions, and a talented storyteller. His concerts are a perfect synthesis of the arts of music, poetry, light - a finely woven fabric of melancholy, words, sound and silence...

Contemporary composer Kirill Richter works with the metaphor of Shakespeare's life, which is presented with unique poetic brevity in his drama "As you like it." The seven ages describe the life path of mankind, from the very first steps, through energetic youth, apparent mature masculinity, and to old age, so similar to childhood. A musical cycle of seven compositions by Kirill Richter will be performed on November 28 by the virtuoso group Richter Trio, among other most famous works of the author.
