Vladimir Rumyantsev (piano) is an accomplished pianist, known for his virtuosity and ability to interpret the piano’s vast repertoire. His talent emerged early, with Rumyantsev winning Moscow’s Glinka competition at the age of only seven.

Rumyantsev has performed at prestigious venues including the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Moscow Philharmonic, and Carnegie Hall.

In addition to his solo career, he has participated in renowned festivals including the Golden Mask Festival in Moscow, the Bermuda Piano Festival, The Art of Piano Duo in Boston, IKIF, and the Mannes Summer Piano Festival in New York. His performances of concertos by Shostakovich and Stravinsky led to collaborations with the Mariinsky Ballet under the batons of Valery Gergiev and Boris Gruzin, at iconic venues such as Covent Garden, the Mariinsky Theatre, and the Bolshoi Theatre.

Rumyantsev received his foundational training at the Gnessin Moscow Special School for Music under Mikhail Khokhlov and later studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Sergey Dorensky and mentors like Alexander Bakhchiev, Elena Sorokina, and Nikolai Lugansky.
