Maxim loves to make people smile. His passion for classical music has already set him on an exciting path of performing. Maxim will also work with Gould pianists in a master class on Monday afternoon.

American pianist Maxim Lando has been described by Berkshire Fine Arts as having an “ever so clear approach to the keyboard, and the molding and shaping of phrases straight from the musical angels”. Maxim’s concerts and collaborations have recently brought him to the international stage, with invitations to perform spanning from across the globe.

Performing as a duo with celebrity pianist Lang Lang, Maxim made additional critically acclaimed debuts this season with Pittsburgh Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Hawaii Symphony, and China NCPA Orchestra.
