The Accordi Musicali Festival 2026 is delighted to announce the participation of the internationally celebrated pianist, conductor, educator, and producer Albert Mamriev as one of the distinguished guest artists of its upcoming edition.
Recognised for his extraordinary virtuosity, profound musical insight, and remarkable stylistic breadth, Albert Mamriev has established himself as a prominent figure on the international classical music scene. Critics have praised both his dazzling technical command and his deeply thoughtful artistry, particularly in his acclaimed interpretations of the monumental Wagner–Liszt transcriptions.
Born in Dagestan, Mamriev began his musical studies with his father, the distinguished musician Yankel Mamriev, before continuing his education at the Central Music School of the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory, the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory, the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music at Tel Aviv University, and the Hannover University of Music, Drama and Media, studying with renowned pedagogues including Sergei Dorensky, Arie Vardi, and others.
A laureate of numerous prestigious international piano competitions — including Gina Bachauer (USA), UNISA (South Africa), Vianna da Motta (Portugal), Scottish International Piano Competition, and China International Piano Competition — Mamriev has enjoyed an extensive performing career spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East.

His artistic activity also encompasses conducting, music production, recording, and festival leadership. Mamriev is founder and artistic director of several international cultural initiatives, including the Neue Sterne International Piano Competition, Young Piano Stars, and multiple festivals and academies dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musicians.
