Kirill Gerstein Masterclass for IMS Prussia Cove: Yundi Xu plays Chopin Sonata No. 2

The Masterclass with Kirill Gerstein from April 12th 2021 is part of the International Musicians Seminar Prussia Cove which nurtures and inspires world-class musicians by bringing together emerging artists and acclaimed performers from across the world to make music together. In 2021 because of pandemic-related restrictions the Masterclasses will take place in an online format. The classes with Kirill Gerstein were live-streamed from the C. Bechstein Center in Berlin. Kirill Gerstein's heritage combines the traditions of Russian, American and Central European music-making with an insatiable curiosity. These qualities and the relationships that he has developed with orchestras, conductors, instrumentalists, singers and composers, have led him to explore a huge spectrum of repertoire both new and old. From Bach to Adès, Gerstein's playing is distinguished by its clarity of expression, discerning intelligence and virtuosity, and an energetic, imaginative musical presence that places him at the top of his profession. Born in the former Soviet Union, Gerstein is an American citizen based in Berlin. His career is similarly international, with solo and concerto engagements taking him across Europe and the United States, to China and Australia. In addition to his international career he is also professor at Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin. At only 14 years old Yundi Xu was accepted at the prestigious “Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris” as the youngest candidate at the time. Born in 1998, she currently studies at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" in Berlin with Prof. Eldar Nebolsin. Yundi Xu has performed at Salle Gaveau or Konzerthaus Berlin and has collaborated with conductors such as Zhang Yi, Fuad Ibrahimov or Li Biao and orchestras such as Beijing Symphony Orchestra, Namur Chamber Orchestra and Azerbaijan Symphony Orchestra.
