Sergei Babayan is a member of the CIM piano faculty and the Mr. and

Mrs. John D. Gilliam Artist-in-Residence. Acclaimed for the immedi-

acy, sensitivity and depth of his interpretations, Mr. Babayan’s per-

formances reveal an emotional intensity and bold energy, equipping

him to explore stylistically diverse repertoire. Known for innovative

programming, he often includes contemporary works of composers

such as Lutosławski, Ligeti and Pärt; extending the boundaries of the

mainstream repertoire for which he’s acclaimed - excelling in Mozart,

Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann, and such Russian giants as Rach-

maninov, Scriabin and Prokofiev. A student of such legendary teachers

and musicians as Gornostayeva, Naumov, Pletnev and Vlasenko at the

Moscow Conservatory, he was not permitted to leave the country to

compete and study in the West. Following the collapse of the Soviet

system, he was the first pianist from the former USSR able to compete

without government sponsorship. Immediately following his first trip

abroad, Mr. Babayan won consecutive first prizes in several major

international competitions including the 1990 Robert Casadesus Inter-

national Piano Competition (now the Cleveland International Piano

Competition), 1990 Palm Beach International Piano Competition, 1991

Hamamatsu Piano Competition and the 1992 Scottish International Pi-

ano Competition. He is also a Laureate of the Esther Honens (Calgary,

Canada), Busoni and Queen Elisabeth International Piano Competi-

tions. Mr. Babayan has had major engagements and concert tours

throughout Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, South

America, China and the U.S. His New York recitals at Carnegie Hall

and Alice Tully Hall, performances with The Cleveland Orchestra, Bal-

timore and Detroit Symphony Orchestras have all been met with

tremendous critical acclaim, as have his many subsequent recital and

concerto performances throughout major cities in the U.S. His concert

schedule has included performances and broadcasts throughout major

European cities and extensive tours of Japan. He has appeared in recital

in such venues as Salle Gaveau (Paris), Wigmore Hall (London), Car-

negie Hall (New York), Philharmonic Hall (Warsaw), Severance Hall

(Cleveland), Bolshoy Zal of the Moscow Conservatory (Moscow),

Mariinsky Theatre (St. Petersburg), Herkulessaal (Munich), Liederhalle

(Stuttgart), Meistersingerhalle (Nürnberg), Konzerthaus (Berlin),

5

Brahmsallee (Karlsruhe), Beethovenhalle (Bonn) and many others. Mr.

Babayan has appeared at major music festivals in France, Germany,

the UK, Poland, Spain, China and the U.S. His concerts have been

broadcast by WQXR, WCLV, Radio France, Polish Radio and Televi-

sion, BBC-TV and NHK Satellite Television. He has made several

highly praised recordings for the EMC, Connoisseur Society and Pro

Piano labels. A deep interest in and love for Bach’s music recently led

him to study with Helmuth Rilling. Mr. Babayan has also studied

conducting in order to deepen his understanding of the orchestra. In this

role, he has conducted music of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schnittke, Pärt,

Vasks, Schedrin and Prokofiev. Mr. Babayan was invited by Valery

Gergiev to perform at the international Stars of the White Nights Festi-

val in St. Petersburg with the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre. The

performance was received with great enthusiasm and was highly

acclaimed in the major Russian press. 2009-2010 season highlights

included performances at the Prague Spring Festival and with the

London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Valery Gergiev at the

Barbican Hall.
