Emanuil Ivanov attracted international attention after receiving the First prize at the 2019 Ferruccio Busoni Piano Competition in Italy. This achievement was followed by concert engagements in some of the world’s most prestigious halls including Teatro alla Scala in Milan and Herculessaal in Munich. He recently completed his studies on a full scholarship at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire under the tutelage of Pascal Nemirovski and Anthony Hewitt, and in September takes a place at London’s Royal Academy of Music as a recipient of the prestigious Bicentenary Scholarship. His programme for KCMS brings together some of the finest piano writing of the 19th century, with a respectful nod to the Baroque era via Busoni’s famous transcription of Bach.
