Evgeny Kissin & Friends

In February 2025, Knight Classical delivered the London leg of a major international touring project marking the anniversary of the death of Dmitri Shostakovich. The project featured pianist Evgeny Kissin alongside Gidon Kremer, Giedrė Dirvanauskaitė, Alexander Roslavets, and Maxim Rysanov, and was conceived as an immersive exploration of Shostakovich’s chamber music.

Knight Classical packaged and placed the London performance with the Barbican Centre. As a key anchor point within the wider multi-capital-city transatlantic tour, Knight Classical was entrusted with full responsibility for the London engagement, working closely with the artists and venue to ensure the delivery of a complex, high-profile project at one of Europe’s leading cultural institutions.

Following the success of this project, Knight Classical has since been entrusted with a further Evgeny Kissin & Friends touring project scheduled for 2028, reinforcing long-term relationships at the highest artistic level.
