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 pianist of fiery temperament and virtuosity, Avdeeva plays with power, conviction, and sensibility, having won over audiences all over the world.
A favourite artist in Europe with recurring engagements at the Warsaw Philharmonic, Rudolfinum in Prague, Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Yulianna has also given concerts for Ukrainian Relief, including with Anne-Sophie Mutter at the Lucerne Festival.
Among her other extensive collaborators are the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony, Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Finnish and Danish Radio Symphonies, Czech Philharmonic, Dresden Philharmonic, Sinfonieorchester Basel, Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Yomiuri Nippon Symphony.
A dedicated chamber musician, Yulianna tours regularly throughout Europe with violinists Julia Fischer and Gidon Kremer, with appearances at Wigmore Hall, Tonhalle Zurich, 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, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Boulez Saal, Vienna Konzerthaus, Palau de la Música Catalana and Shostakovich Festival Saxony.
Avdeeva’s formidable discography includes recordings of Chopin concertos with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and Frans Brüggen, solo albums of music including Schubert, Liszt and Prokofiev, her collaboration with Gidon Kremer in Mieczyslaw Weinberg's chamber music and a Deutsche Grammophon solo recording as part of a milestone collection dedicated to Chopin Competition Gold Medalists. Yulianna’s most recent recording Resilience (Pentatone) is centred around the story of composer Wladyslaw Szpilman, whose music is surrounded on the disc with music by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Weinberg.
