“Music in Time of War” – As Relevant as Ever:
Kirill will perform for the first time in Yerevan, Armenia, together with Ruzan Mantashyan Soprano, featuring works by Vardapet Komitas and Claude Debussy — excerpts from the album released in 2024.
He will also give a masterclass on June 29.
The concert is held in collaboration with the AUA Center for Ethics in Public Affairs (ETICA), funded by the Horizon Europe ERA Chair Programme.
It launches the International conference on National Identity in a Time of Crisis, co-organised by the New York University Global Institute for Advanced Study, the Armenian Society of Fellows, and the AUA Turpanjian Institute of Social Sciences.

Kirill Gerstein performs "Burlesque" by Richard Strauss with Roberto Gonzalez-Monjas and the Mozarteumorchester on June 15th.

Gary Burton & Kirill Gerstein, playing Chick Corea, released by ECM

Commissioned by Kirill Gerstein with support from his Gilmore Artist Award, and co-commissioned by Berklee College of Music, The Visitors was premiered by Burton and Gerstein at the 2012 Gilmore International Piano Festival. Gerstein and Burton only recently rediscovered this recording of that premiere, subsequent to which Manfred Eicher and Gerstein mixed the piece in Munich, in Spring 2025. Released as a digital single only, The Visitors appears on the occasion of what would have been Chick Corea’s 84th birthday, on June 12. Kirill Gerstein: “With Chick no longer with us, and Gary now retired, this is a singular document—both musically and personally meaningful”

Due to current events, the concerts have been postponed to a later date.

Works by Debussy & Komitas.
With the Gurdjieff Ensemble and Levon Eskenian

In Essen, Kirill Gerstein will juxtapose compositions by Claude Debussy with works by the Armenian composer Komitas. A special highlight of the evening will be an introductory artist talk.

Kirill will play Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto with Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of David Robertson two concerts at Lotte Concert Hall.

"When devised with thorough craft and devoted care, musical albums can truly transcend beyond mere vessels for recorded tracks and become genuine works of art in themselves."
