The Russian pianist, Nikolai Petrov, was born in 1943 in Moscow into a family of illustrious Russian musicians. His grandfather, Vasily Rodionovich Petrov, the outstanding Russian bass, spent twenty years as a soloist at the Bolshoi Theatre, where he performed with such stars as Shaliapin, Nezhdanova and other great opera singers. In 1961, Nikolai Petrov graduated from the Central Musical School where he studied under T.E. Kestner, and between 1962 and 1968 he completed undergraduate and post-graduate studies at the Moscow Conservatory under Professor Yakov Zak. Petrov first won public acclaim in 1962 when he won the silver medal at the First International Van Cliburn Competition in the USA. In 1964, he won the silver medal at the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels. Since then, he has played frequently to foreign audiences.

Nikolai Petrov is considered one of the most phenomenal pianists of his generation. He performs between seventy and one hundred concerts a year, of which ten to fifteen take place in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. For the past twelve years (from 1995), he has had his own series of performances at the Moscow Conservatory entitled “Nikolai Petrov Plays.” His concerts in Moscow and abroad are consistent sell-outs, and his work is rated very highly by music critics.

Nikolai Petrov is a People’s Artist of the USSR and Laureate of the Russian State Prize.
On October 1, 1998, he established the Nikolai Petrov International Philanthropic Foundation.
