Ariel House are delighted to welcome Alexej Gorlatch, winner of the AXA International Piano Competition 2009 as a resident this week. Alex will tonight perform his debut Dublin recital at The National Concert Hall, in association with the AXA Dublin International Piano Competition. Winning first prize in the Dublin Competition in May 2009 has been the most significant achievement in his spectacularly promising career so far. Born in Kiev in 1988, Alexej began studying the piano at the age of seven. He is now a student of Professor Karl- Heinz Kammerling at the University of Music and Theatre in Hannover. He has been winning prizes since he was eleven in competitions all over the world and has also given solo recitals in the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Salle Cortot in Paris and the Kioi Hall in Tokyo and has played with orchestras such as the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the NHK Orchestra in Japan and the German Kammerphilharmonie. Further engagements include a return to Carnegie Hall, a recital in the Peoples' Symphony Concert Series, New York , the Wigmore Hall, London and also in Berlin with the Berliner Philharmonie.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear this brilliant young pianist who stands at the threshold of his career.
