Hermitage Piano Trio

Misha Keylin, violin
Sergey Antonov, cello
Maxim Mogilevsky, piano

Descending from the great Russian musical tradition, the Hermitage Piano Trio is a rarity in the chamber-music world: a trio made up of three musicians who are noted soloists in their own right. The Trio is comprised of violinist Misha Keylin, who has received tremendous acclaim for his Naxos recording project of the complete works by Vieuxtemps for violin and orchestra; cellist Sergey Antonov, who was the gold medalist at the most recent Tchaikovsky Competition; and pianist Maxim Mogilevsky, who performed just last year with Valery Gergiev and the New York Philharmonic.

Misha Keylin

Since his New York Carnegie Hall début at age 11, violinist Misha Keylin has earned critical and popular acclaim for his exuberant musicality, keen interpretive insight, and rare tonal beauty.  Noted for a wide range of repertoire, Keylin is attracting particular attention with his world-premiere complete CD series of the seven Henry Vieuxtemps violin concertos, released by Naxos.  These recordings have already sold over 100,000 copies worldwide and garnered numerous press accolades and awards (such as “Critic’s Choice” by The New York Times, Gramophone and The Strad). Following the success of the violin concertos, Naxos has invited Keylin to record the complete works of Vieuxtemps (orchestral and with piano.)

In a career already spanning forty countries on five continents, Keylin has been guest soloist with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Leipzig Chamber Orchestra, NDR Philharmonic of Hannover, Budapest Philharmonic, Israel Sinfonietta, Bologna Philharmonic, and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Chile; in addition, he has performed with the National Symphony Orchestras of Ukraine, Latvia, Colombia, Costa Rica and other prestigious ensembles.   United States concerto and recital appearances have brought him to the major venues across the country. 

Sergey Antonov

Hailed as “a brilliant cellist” by the legendary Mstislav Rostropovich, Sergey Antonov went on to prove his mentor’s proclamation when he became one of the youngest cellists ever awarded the gold medal at the world’s premier musical Olympiad, the quadrennial International Tchaikovsky Competition.

Antonov’s entry into this elite stratum of sought-after classical artists has already placed him on stages at world-renowned venues from Russia’s Great Hall at the Moscow Conservatory to Suntory Hall in Tokyo.   His international performance tours have taken him to France, Italy, Hungary, Sweden, Finland, Korea, Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.  He has collaborated with such conductors as Yuri Simonov, Maxim Vengerov, David Geringas, Eliji Oue, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Mikhail Pletnev, Jonathon McPhee, and Yuri Bashmet.

Maxim Mogilevsky

A passionate interpreter of his native Russian repertoire, Maxim Mogilevsky debuted at the age of 13 with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra to rave reviews.  Recent orchestra appearances include those with the New York Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony, Orchestre National de France, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, and the Bogotá Symphony. Mr. Mogilevsky has performed under the batons of internationally renowned conductors, including Seiji Ozawa, Gerard Schwarz, and Valery Gergiev.

A frequent performer on National Public Radio's "Performance Today," Mr. Mogilevsky has performed on many of the most prestigious stages in North America, including those of Carnegie Hall, Big Arts, the Kravis Center,the  Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Duke Performances, and at the Frick Collection and Rockefeller University in New York City.
