After amassing six gold medals in national and international competitions, Indian-American pianist Rishi Mirchandani debuted as soloist with the Grammy award-winning Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at the age of 18. He made his first of four appearances at Carnegie Hall in New York at age 12, and he has performed to critical acclaim in England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United States.

Mirchandani holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, summa cum laude, from Yale University, where he also studied piano and founded the Yale Undergraduate Piano Collective. He subsequently moved to New York to focus on music professionally, completing postgraduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music and Mannes School of Music with high honours. Mirchandani quickly became a New York audience favourite, receiving invitations to appear at Carnegie Hall, the Bohemian National Hall, the German Consulate of the U.N., the Union Club, Klavierhaus, and many other renowned venues in the city.

Now based in London, Mirchandani recently completed an Artist Diploma at the Royal College of Music. He joined the teaching staff of the renowned Charterhouse School in September 2025. His schedule this season includes solo recitals at the Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room in London as well as respected venues in Bray, Cambridge, Oxford, and Surrey.
