Maxim Lando, Piano

American pianist Maxim Lando received national attention in 2017 at the age of fourteen when he appeared on the bench alongside pianist Lang Lang, performing the parts intended for Mr. Lang’s injured left hand, at Carnegie Hall’s Gala Opening Night. At this concert, they joined Chick Corea and the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin in an unprecedented threepianist version of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.” Mr. Lando and Mr. Lang also performed together with the symphonies of Pittsburgh, Toronto, Vancouver and Hawaii, and with China NCPA Orchestra. His collaboration with Lang Lang and Chick Corea was chronicled in The New York Times. This season he will work with Mr. Corea again, in recordings for the Chick Corea Music Workshops video series. Mr. Lando won First Prize at the 2018 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. The 2019-20 Concert season has Lando making his recital debuts in New York, in the Peter Marino Concert at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, and in Washington, DC, at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater — and at PWPL!
