BRIEF INTRODUCTION

At six years of age Demidenko went to the Gnessin School of Music where he studied with Anna Kantor, following this by studies at the Moscow Conservatory with Dmitri Bashkirov. He was a finalist at the 1976 Montreal and 1978 Tchaikovsky Competitions. His British debut was made in 1985 with the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra. Demidenko has been resident in the United Kingdom since 1990, obtaining a teaching contract at the Menuhin School of Music in the year of his arrival and also becoming a visiting professor at the University of Surrey. He has worked with many of the major orchestras of the world including the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and the St Petersburg Philharmonic with conductors Sir Roger Norrington, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Yuri Temirkanov and Sir Andrew Davis. Demidenko has played in Australia and New Zealand, Canada, the Far East and Europe and made his New York debut at the Frick Collection in 2001. He did, however, appear in New York in 1986, playing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue at the celebration of the centennial of the Statue of Liberty. This occasion, when he was joined by Tomita and his synthesized Plasma Symphony Orchestra, was recorded by RCA Victor. He also appears annually at the Herkulessaal in Munich. At London's Wigmore Hall Demidenko gave a series of six Piano Masterworks programmes in 1993, a Chopin series in 1996 and a three-part series in 1997 entitled A Romantic Voyage. Among his other London engagements have been three recitals in the Harrods International Piano Series at the Royal Festival Hall, and two appearances in the Barbican Hall in 1999. Frequent London recitals have included the Great Performers series at the Barbican, the International Piano Series at Southbank Centre and recently the London Pianoforte Series at the Wigmore Hall - a Chopin recital which was featured as the only live performance in BBC Radio 3's Chopin Experience, a weekend celebration of his complete works.

He is renowned for his authoritative performances of the Russian concerto repertoire such as Prokofiev, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky and has worked with many conductors and orchestras throughout the world. He has a flourishing relationship with the St Petersburg Philharmonic and Yuri Temirkanov, with whom he performs regularly. He also enjoys a fruitful collaboration with several Russian artists who have made their homes in London; a cello and piano duo with Leonid Gorokhov; piano quartets with the exciting new Hermitage String Trio; and a two-piano partnership with Dmitri Alexeev, who likewise studied at the Moscow Conservatoire under Dmitri Bashkirov.

His repertoire is wide-ranging, including Bach, Clementi, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Mussorgsky and Scarlatti. He has a special affinity with the works of Chopin and travels frequently to Poland, most recently to Warsaw to perform at the Chopin and His Europe Festival and Chopin Birthday celebration concert on February 27, 2010.Other festival appearances include venues in Aldeburgh, Dubrovnik, Eilat, New York, Oslo and Singapore.
