Interartists Amsterdam welcomes pianist Alexei Volodin to its instrumental roster for the Netherlands.
‘He is a marvelous artist, who peels away layers of meaning and expression in everything he plays, hooked to a fabulously discreet virtuosity.’

Acclaimed for his highly sensitive touch and technical brilliance, Alexei Volodin is in demand by orchestras at the highest level. He has a performing style that is entirely his own, one where there is no room for superficial effects. His pianism stands apart for its precision and the subtle nature of his performances. He possesses an extraordinarily diverse repertoire and is always interested in playing new or undiscovered music.
Recent and future highlights in Europe include appearances with Bern Symphony Orchestra, Mariinsky Orchestra and the Noord Nederlands Orkest and recitals at the Concertgebouw, Southbank Centre, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Auditorio Nacional de Madrid. An active performer in Asia, Volodin will appear with Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as in recital at Hong Kong University.

Volodin regularly appears in recital in venues such as Wiener Konzerthaus, Barcelona’s Palau de la Música, Mariinsky Theatre, Paris’ Philharmonie, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Tonhalle Zürich and Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional de Música.
An active chamber musician, he has a long-standing collaboration with many artists including Sol Gabetta, whom he joins this season for performances at the Societe des Grands Interpretes in Paris, a recital tour in Switzerland and the Solsberg Festival. Previous chamber partners include Janine Jansen, Julian Rachlin, and Mischa Maisky, as well as the Borodin Quartet, Modigliani Quartet, Cuarteto Casals and Cremona Quartet.
