VADYM KHOLODENKO

Artist’s website

After his stunning recital debut for The Vancouver Chopin Society in 2022, we immediately re-engaged him for a return appearance.

Even since his gold medal win at the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Kholodenko has been dazzling audiences the world over with his superhuman virtuosity, his profound musicality and the depth of his interpretations.

His artistry and pianism have led to invitations from the world’s finest orchestras and concert halls.
His recordings for Harmonia Mundi have received accolades from Gramophone magazine as well as from BBC Music Magazine. His latest release, a pairing of Beethoven’s towering “Diabelli Variations” with Rzewski’s “The People United Will Never be Defeated”, has been met with tremendous critical acclaim. Critic Norman Lebrecht describes Kholodenko as being “in the elite of classical pianists.”

An avid chamber musician, Kholodenko has formed partnerships with some of today’s finest musicians, including Vadim Repin, Alena Beava, and the Belcea and Jerusalem string quartets.

If you missed Kholodenko’s first appearance in Vancouver, do not miss this opportunity to experience the music-making of this incredible artist and musician.
