Mischa Maisky (Cello)
Mischa Maisky has the distinction of being the only cellist in the world to have studied with both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky. Rostropovich lauded Maisky as "... one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of cellists. His playing combines poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique."
Maisky has collaborated with such conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Charles Dutoit and Gustavo Dudamel. His musician partnerships have included artists such as Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin, Itzhak Perlman, Lang Lang, Gidon Kremer and Joshua Bell to name just a few. He made over 35 recordings with orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, Berliner Philharmoniker, Israel Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre de Paris and others. Maisky’s recordings have enjoyed world-wide critical acclaim and have been awarded the prestigious Record Academy Prize in Tokyo five times and the Echo Deutscher Schallplattenpreis three times, as well as the Grand Prix du Disque in Paris and the Diapason d’Or of the Year, as well as receiving several coveted Grammy nominations.
Lily Maisky (Piano)
Lily Maisky began playing the piano at the age of four, with Lyl Tiempo, also studying with Hagit Kerbel, Ilana Davids and Alan Weiss. Lily has been invited to many of the great festivals such as Verbier Festival, Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano, Edinburgh Festival and many others. She has had the privilege of performing concertos under the batons of maestros Leonard Slatkin, Thomas Sanderling, Gerd Albrecht, Gabor Takacs-Nagy, Junichi Hirokami, amongst others. Lily has released several recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, EMI and Avanti Classics. Her latest releases on Deutsche Grammophon, Adagietto and Twentieth Century Classics were very well received and there are many more projects in the making.
