Pavel Nersessian at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center

Pavel Nersessian (Russia) is no stranger to the great stages of the world and it was only a matter of time before he made his debut at the Miami International Piano Festival. Being one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation in Russia, he is known for his ability to play equally convincingly in the whole palette of the piano repertoire. He won prizes in the Beethoven Competition in Vienna in 1985, the Paloma O'Shea Competition in Santander, and the Tokyo Competition. In 2005 he became a merited Artist of the Russian Federation and in 2013 he became a professor of piano at Boston University.
