Alexander Gavrylyuk

piano

A stunningly virtuosic pianist, Alexander Gavrylyuk is internationally recognized for his electrifying and poetic performances. His performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 at the BBC Proms was described as “revelatory” by The Times and “electrifying” by Limelight. He was artist in residence at Wigmore Hall for the 2023-24 season.
 
Highlights of the 2024-25 season include concerto debuts with Hamburger Symphoniker, Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liege, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Estonian National Symphony, Phil Zuid, Enescu Philharmonic and Taiwan National Symphony, as well as return visits to Rotterdam Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony and New Zealand Symphony. Recent highlights also include NDR Hannover, Bournemouth Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony and São Paulo Symphony. This season also sees a return to the Concertgebouw Master Pianists Series and a solo recital debut at Philharmonie Luxembourg, as well as recitals throughout Australia and the U.K.
 
Gavrylyuk collaborates regularly with conductors including Rafael Payare, Alexandre Bloch, Thomas Søndergård, Donald Runnicles, Juraj Valcuha, Kirill Karabits, Edward Gardner and Gustavo Gimeno.

At the age of 13, Gavrylyuk moved to Sydney where he lived until 2006. He won first prize and gold medal at the Horowitz International Piano Competition (1999), first prize at the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition (2000) and gold medal at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Masters Competition (2005).
