Max Mostovetski is a prize-winning young pianist from Leipzig, which can reasonably claim to be the musical capital of Germany with its heritage of Bach, Mendelssohn,  Schumann and others.

Born in 2001 in Leipzig, Max received his earliest musical inspirations from his mother, who is also a musician. Max began his piano studies at the age of five at the Musikschule Leipzig “Johann Sebastian Bach”, where Kateryna Blyum, his teacher for 14 years, opened up the world of classical music to him. Max completed his secondary school studies at the “St. Thomas School, Leipzig” — where J.S. Bach had led the world famous Thomanerchor — and is currently studying at the University of Music “Franz Liszt” in Weimar with Prof. Grigory Gruzman.

During this period he performed in numerous concerts and participated in various competitions. He won the “7th National Bach Competition for Young Pianists”, in Köthen (first prize); the “18th Carl-Schroeder Piano Competition” (first prize); the “German National Youth Music Competition” in the chamber music category, in Hamburg (first prize). He also successfully participated in the “Robert Schumann Youth Piano Competition” (third prize); the “Kiwanis Piano Competition” (first prize) and has been awarded multiple prizes from both the Chopin and the Mendelssohn Foundations in Leipzig.

Among Max’s most notable achievements was taking first prize at the “62nd Grotrian- Steinweg International Piano Competition”, held in Braunschweig, first prize with the  highest score at the “German National Youth Music Competition” in the category piano solo and second prize at the “International Carl Maria von Weber Piano Competition” in Dresden.

Besides participating in competitions, Max performs regularly in concerts throughout Austria, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Spain. He was invited by the German television station “MDR” to appear as guest artist at the music festival “MDR-Music Summer” together with musicians from the MDR Symphony Orchestra.
