Musical exposure and Central European culture: Alexander Gadjiev owes the first to his family, with both parents being piano teachers and musicians, and the second to Gorizia – his city of origin – a natural crossroads of peoples, cultures and languages. These factors have both had a determining influence on his natural ability to absorb, process and rework, to his own taste, different musical styles and languages.
Tutored by his father, a well-known Russian teacher, Alexander played for the first time with an orchestra at the age of nine, and held his first solo recital aged ten.	
He was awarded his diploma at the age of seventeen, with the highest marks and honours. This allowed him to participate in the Premio Venezia – a competition reserved for the best young talents in Italy – and to win the 30th edition of the award. 
Alexander has received the Second Prize and the “Krystian Zimerman Prize for the best performance of a Sonata” at the”18th Chopin Competition” in Warsaw.

A few months before he won the First Prize and several other prizes the 2021 Sydney International Piano Competition.  

He is also the 2022 winner of the Terence Judd Award connected to one of the leading orchestras in UK, the Hallé Orchestra, with which he will perform in several concerts.  

Gadjiev is still currently “BBC New Generation Artist” from 2019 to 2021, which gives him the opportunity to record several times for renowned Studios in London and to perform in prestigious British festivals and venues and to collaborate with the BBC orchestras throughout the United Kingdom

Alexander Gadjiev has won in the past two other major piano competitions: First Prize in the 2015 Hamamatsu, where he also got the “audience prize” and First Prize at the 2018 Montecarlo “World Piano Masters”

 
Over the last yeas Gadjiev has been invited to perform in Japan and at major piano festivals, including: the Verbier Festival, the MiTo Festival in Turin, the “Chopin” Festival in Duszniki, the ClaviCologne International Piano Festival in Düsseldorf, Piano Festival Rafael Orozco in Cordoba, the Ljubljana Festival, Bologna Festival, Settimane Musicali for the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, the Festival Animato de Paris,  Kammermusik Salzburg Festival, Teatro La Fenice, Kioi Hall and Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo, Kitara Concert Hall in Sapporo, Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Osaka, Salle Cortot in Paris, the Moscow Conservatory, and then in Salt Lake City, Istanbul, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Wigmore Hall, Albeburgh Festival and many others.	

Recent and future engagements see Alexander doing a long tour of Poland, concerts in Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Italy, debut in Madrid and another tour in Japan in the late Spring.

He just made his triumphant debut with “Orchestra Nazionale della Rai” under the baton of Fabio Luisi, a concert that brought to an immediate re-invitation for the next season.

The year 2022 will gloriously end with an Australian and Far East tour lasting over 50 days! 
Alexander Gadjiev is Cultural Ambassador for “Nova Gorica/Gorizia, European Capital of Culture 2025.
