Nathalia Milstein

Instruments: Keyboards | Piano

Nathalia Milstein was born into a musical family in France and received her first piano lessons at the age of 4 from her father Serguei Milstein. She went on to study the piano with Nelson Goerner at the Geneva Haute Ecole de Musique, where she completed Bachelor and Master’s degrees with distinction, and with Sir András Schiff at the Barenboim-Saïd Akademie in Berlin.

Nathalia’s international career took off in 2015, when she won 1st Prize at the Dublin International Piano Competition. In 2017 she was also awarded the Young Soloist Prize by the Médias Francophones Publics.

A keen chamber musician, Nathalia also regularly performs with renowned musicians, joining them at international chamber music events, such as the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival, the West Cork Festival in Ireland, Lavaux Classic in Switzerland, or the Schiermonnikoog Festival in the Netherlands.

Throughout the 2024/25 season, Nathalia will thus appear as a soloist and chamber music partner in various venues across Europe. Her performances with orchestra will include debuts with the Bremen Philharmoniker conducted by Ulf Schirmer and the Saint Etienne Opera Orchestra conducted by Sasha Yankevych with Schostakovich’s Piano Concerto n.2, a participation in a show around Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Soundwave Collective in several venues in the Netherlands, as well as a Dutch tour with the Phion Orchestra conducted by Bas Wiegers playing the Brahms’s monumental 2nd Concerto.
