The Russian pianist has worked hard and faced a huge challenge to reach this far of the triennial Leeds Competition with 79 pianists from around the World chosen to compete in the first round, selected from hundreds of applications! This was reduced to just over 30 for the second round and now 12 go through to the semis which take place over the next three days.
Alexander won the 2015 Hastings Piano Competition earlier in the year and, as part of his prize, he was given an engagement at his year's Rye Arts Festival! Tickets are still available for the concert at St Mary's Church at 7.30pm on Wednesday 16th September providing a chance to see a real star in the making!
