Named a Gilmore Artist in 2024, French pianist Alexandre Kantorow has been enjoying a career of meteoric acceleration. He returns to Kalamazoo to perform what has been called the “Mount Everest of concertos” – Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto. The evening begins with Kantorow tackling Rachmaninoff’s rarely performed First Piano Sonata. He was the first French pianist to win the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition along with the Grand Prix – awarded together only three times in competition history.
