Since 2015, the Key Pianists Concert Series has brought some of the world’s most renowned recitalists to the stage at Carnegie Hall. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the series launches its season with Alexander Kobrin on November 6. Kobrin, who won the Gold Medal at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2005, performs music by Haydn, Schubert and Robert Schumann.
“I am thrilled to present Alexander Kobrin,” said Key Pianists founder Terry Eder. “He's emblematic of the gold standard of our concert series.”
Since winning the gold medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Kobrin's star has been on a meteoric rise. He's performed with orchestras from the New York Philharmonic to the Russian National Orchestra, played recitals around the world and recorded over a half dozen critically acclaimed albums. His program features Robert Schumann's evocative Kreisleriana, the Four Impromptus op. 90 by Franz Schubert, Variations in F minor by Haydn and the beloved Arabesque by Schumann.
The concert on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 7:30 pm is presented by Key Pianists Concert Series, at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (154 West 57th Street in New York City). Tickets are $51 ($40 + $11 fee) and are available at CarnegieHall.org | 212-247-7800 | Box Office at 57th and Seventh Avenue.
