Yevgeny Sudbin - piano

Described by The Independent as ‘a pianist of uncommon sensitivity and refinement’, Yevgeny Sudbin follows the long tradition of producing piano transcriptions of symphonic works. This evening he presents his own transcriptions of two pieces: Fantasy & Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s dramatic and emotional Romeo & Juliet Fantasy Overture. Sudbin is a celebrated interpreter of Alexander Scriabin, another giant of the Russian repertoire. Scriabin’s tenth, and final, piano sonata is sometimes referred to as his ‘insect’ sonata and is characterised by frequent trills and tremolos.

This concert is part of the Leeds International Piano Series, presented in partnership with the Leeds International Piano Competition. 

About the Leeds International Piano Series

Welcome to a brand-new season of the Leeds International Piano Series, presented by Leeds International Concert Season in partnership with the Leeds International Piano Competition.

As we look forward to the 22nd Leeds International Piano Competition taking place in September 2027, we invite you to enjoy a celebration of piano music through this inspiring season of concerts.

Leeds has long been a city where pianists are discovered and celebrated, and the 2026/27 season continues that legacy with performances by artists who define the city’s musical heritage, from competition alumni such as Eric Lu to internationally renowned figures including Pascal Rogé and Clare Hammond.

We look forward to welcoming you to a concert soon!

No pianist of any generation has, in my experience, captured Scriabin’s volatility so vividly as Sudbin.
