Ekaterina Litvintseva, who grew up in the town of Anadyr by the Bering Sea in the northeastern extremity of Russia, followed an unconventional path in her development as a pianist. She learnt to play the piano at her local music school with unforced, passionate spontaneity.

Ekaterina gives concerts worldwide as a soloist and together with renowned orchestras in Russia, Poland, Germany, Italy, Israel and Romania. Of particular note are her concerts with the Klassische Philharmonie Bonn and Heribert Beissel, with whom she went on two major tours of Germany’s most prestigious concert halls in 2012, 2015 and 2017, performing at famous venues.

Her latest tour featured her in a live broadcast of Brahms’s First Piano Concerto, recorded for release on CD in the
autumn of 2018.

“She fathoms out the music in an empathising, cautious manner, with a masterly virtuosity that is hinted at here
rather than showcased” – Pizzicato
