Sergei Nakariakov, the israeli-russian trumpet player, has established himself as one of the most thought-after trumpet players on the international stage. Gifted with a rare combination of stunning virtuosity, a suave and velvet-toned sound and a deep sensitivity he was named as “The Paganini of the trumpet” and “Caruso of the trumpet”.
Nakariakov’s coming season is marked by a series of high-profile concerts. In addition to the world premiere of Mikhail Pletnev’s trumpet concerto, Nakariakov will present his artistic diversity with a residence in Salzburg. The program will include the trumpet concerto by A. Arutjunjan and Rococo Variations by P.I. Tchaikovsky in the arrangement for flugelhorn. A highlight of the season will be a concert tour to China with chamber music concerts with his long-time piano partner Maria Meerovitch as well as concerts with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, China Philharmonic Orchestra and Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. Further concerts will take place in Finland, Luxembourg, Germany, Greece, Italy and Russia.
