Russian-American pianist Misha Namirovsky is celebrated for his vivid, expressive playing and refined technique. Hailed as a “master of his art” (Norderstedter Zeitung) and “a lyrical poet” (Die Rheinpfalz), his performances are praised for their sensitivity, clarity, and passion. French pianist and scholar Eric Heidsieck commended Namirovsky’s “colors and clarity” and “extreme virtuosity.”

Namirovsky is a laureate of numerous international competitions, including the German Piano Award in Frankfurt, the Chopin Kosciuszko Foundation Competition in New York, Italy’s Cantu Competition, the Pro Musicis Award in Paris, and the Louisiana International Piano Competition. He has performed in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Jordan Hall (Boston), Salle Cortot (Paris), Alte Oper (Frankfurt), the Great Conservatory Hall (Moscow), Shanghai Symphony Hall, and Mirai Hall (Yokohama), as well as at the Miami International Piano Festival.

As a soloist, he has appeared with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Sendai Philharmonic (Japan), Conservatory Orchestra of Cuba, Novaya Rossiya Symphony, Nizhnii Novgorod Philharmonic, Niederbayernphilharmonie (Germany), and others. His recent tours include a solo program in China, “Tribute to My Teachers,” and an upcoming Rachmaninoff-focused recital tour.

A devoted chamber musician, Namirovsky has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival and the Eastern Music Festival. He is a founding member of the Namirovsky-Lark-Pae Trio, alongside violinist Tessa Lark and cellist Deborah Pae. The trio won silver at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and has performed across the U.S., including for New York’s Chamber Music Live and Music for Food in Boston. Their debut recording on TYXart—featuring trios by Brahms and Frank Bridge—was awarded Best Chamber Music Album by Fono Forum (Germany).

Namirovsky’s artistry reflects deep musical insight, versatility, and a commitment to both tradition and innovation in classical music.
