Born in Nizhniy Novgorod in 1991, Daniil Trifonov is emerging as one of the brightest new names of the next generation of pianists. During the 2010/11 season he won medals at three of the most prestigious competitions in the music world: the Chopin Competition in Warsaw (Bronze Medal), the Rubinstein Competition in Tel Aviv (First Prize) and the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (Gold Medal).
During these performances he impressed jury members and observers such as Martha Argerich, Krystian Zimerman, Van Cliburn, Nelson Freire, Yefim Bronfman and Valery Gergiev. Gergiev personally awarded Trifonov the 'Grand Prix' in Moscow, an additional award given to the best overall competitor in any of that Competition's categories.
Following these accolades, Trifonov has been invited to perform by many major promoters worldwide during the 2011/12 season. Highlights include debuts with the London Symphony Orchestra and Mariinsky Orchestra with Gergiev, Israel Philharmonic with Mehta and the Warsaw Philharmonic with Antoni Wit, as well as collaborations with such conductors as Mikhail Pletnev, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Sir Neville Marriner, Pietari Inkinen and Eivind Gullberg-Jensen. He also gives performances at the Salle Pleyel Paris, Carnegie Hall New York, Suntory Hall Tokyo, Wigmore Hall London and venues across Italy, France, Israel and Poland. Recent concerts by Daniil Trifonov have included his Japanese debut in Tokyo, recitals at the Mariinsky Concert Hall and at Moscow Easter Festival, a Chopin birthday concert in Warsaw conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki, and recitals at the Teatro La Fenice in Italy and at the Brighton Festival in the UK. He has also recently performed with the Orchestra Verdi in Milan.
