Maxim Mogilevsky, piano
Maxim Mogilevsky has established himself as a profound and virtuosic performer firmly in the great Russian piano tradition.

Maxim Mogilevsky’s talent was such that he became the last pupil of the legendary Moscow piano teacher Anaida Sumbatian, who also taught Vladimir Ashkenazy. He debuted at the age of 13 with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Kitaenko, and studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory under professor Lev Naumov. As the recipient of the 1990 Tchaikovsky Scholarship, he won further studies at the Juilliard School with Bella Davidovich.
