Maxim Lando

Maxim Lando first made international headlines performing together with Lang Lang, Chick Corea, and The Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin at Carnegie Hall’s 2017 Opening Night Gala. Since then, he has performed with major orchestras around the world including Pittsburgh Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Mariinsky Theater Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Moscow Philharmonic, St. Petersburg Symphony, Memphis Symphony, Charleston Symphony, Czech National Symphony, and many others.

A recipient of the Gilmore Young Artist Award, Maxim is also First Prize winner of the 2024 Cleveland International Piano Competition, the 2022 Vendome Prize, and the 2022 New York Franz Liszt International Competition—performing with Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium. Maxim was selected for the Association of Performing Arts Professionals’ 2024 Young Performers Career Advancement showcase at Carnegie Hall. As winner of the 2021 Juilliard Concerto Competition, he made his Alice Tully Hall debut performing with the Juilliard Orchestra led by Xian Zhang. In 2020 Maxim was named Musical America’s New Artist of the Month, and in 2018 at the age 16, Maxim won First Prize at the Young Concert Artists International Auditions. His following sold-out recital debuts at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall and the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater included Liszt’s complete Transcendental Etudes and were hailed by The New York Times as a concert “You Won’t Want To Miss!”

Maxim is extremely grateful to be an alumnus of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and studies with long-time mentor Hung-Kuan Chen at The Juilliard School.
