Igor Andreev
Pianist
Igor Andreev is an internationally active concert pianist, conductor, organizer, accompanist and piano assistant at the universities of the arts in Bern and Lucerne.
Born in the Baltic city of Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), Igor Andreev discovered his passion for the piano at the age of 5 and was supported at a young age at the conservatory in Saint-Petersburg. He continued his studies at the University of the Arts in Bern in the class of Prof. Tomasz Herbut, where he was awarded the Tschumi Prize as the best graduate for his degree in 2017. Igor received subsequent inspiration from Konstantin Lifschitz at the Lucerne University of the Arts, where he also became his assistant.
Igor also enjoys working as an organizer. Since 2019 he has led the world's only piano trio festival “Piano Trio Fest” and since 2022 he has led the newly founded ensemble “Sinfonietta Bern”. These projects have now become firmly established in the cultural scene in Bern and Switzerland.
