We recently caught up with Dmitry Ishkhanov, discussing VIRTUOSO, his new album of Chopin works, family dynamics growing up in a household of non-musicians, and his return to Carnegie Hall this December.
Ishkhanov, who debuted at Carnegie at age 14 performing a Beethoven concerto with the DCINY Orchestra, has now released his first solo album, comprised of what he calls Frederic Chopin’s most meaningful works.

Apart from showing incredible potential, Ishkhanov already demonstrates mature and unique artistic capabilities. Amongst his biggest accomplishments, at the age of 14 Ishkhanov debuted in Carnegie Hall Stern Auditorium performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Distinguished Concerts Orchestra and conductor Miran Vaupotić. Furthermore, in September 2016, at the age of 11, Ishkhanov represented Malta at the Eurovision of Young Musicians held in Cologne Germany, and became the youngest finalist in the Eurovision history. Ishkhanov marks this release of Chopin’s works with a return to Carnegie Hall in December 2021.
