Experience an unforgettable evening with legendary cellist Mischa Maisky, joined by his daughter, acclaimed pianist Lily Maisky, in a rare and intimate recital. This special performance brings together their extraordinary musical connection, celebrated across the world for its emotional depth and artistry. Audiences will be treated to a refined program showcasing the richness of the cello–piano repertoire. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness two generations of exceptional musicianship on one stage.

Mischa Maisky is uniquely distinguished as the only cellist in the world to have studied with both Mstislav Rostropovich and Gregor Piatigorsky. Rostropovich praised him as “one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation of cellists,” noting that Maisky’s playing “combines poetry and exquisite delicacy with great temperament and brilliant technique.”

Born in Latvia, educated in Russia, and later settling in Israel, Maisky has earned international acclaim in major music capitals including London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, New York and Tokyo. A truly world-class musician and a frequent guest at leading international festivals, he has collaborated with many of the world’s foremost conductors, among them Leonard Bernstein, Carlo Maria Giulini, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Daniel Barenboim, James Levine, Charles Dutoit, Yuri Temirkanov, Mariss Jansons, Valery Gergiev, Kirill Petrenko, Paavo Järvi and Gustavo Dudamel.
