Kirill Gerstein live in Frankfurt

Experience Kirill Gerstein live on December 18th

Kirill Gerstein is a Russian-American pianist recognized for his intellectually probing interpretations and commanding technique. His repertoire spans a wide range, from the core classical and romantic works to 20th and 21st-century compositions, frequently championing contemporary composers alongside established masters. He is known for a clarity of articulation and a willingness to explore unconventional approaches to familiar pieces, often drawing connections between seemingly disparate musical traditions.

The concert on December 18, 2026, will take place at the Großer Sendesaal (Large Broadcasting Hall) of Hessischer Rundfunk (Hessian Broadcasting Corporation) in Frankfurt. Opened in 1956, the hall was designed with acoustics as a primary consideration, initially serving as a radio studio and concert venue for the HR Symphony Orchestra. It underwent extensive renovation and modernization between 2017-2019, enhancing its acoustic properties further and updating its technical capabilities.

The Großer Sendesaal is noted for its relatively intimate size compared to many major concert halls, fostering a direct connection between performers and audience. Its design incorporates elements intended to create a warm and resonant sound suitable for both orchestral performances and solo recitals.
