THE ARTIST

Anthony Ratinov

Hailed for his "unwavering energy and precision" (La Scena Musicale), American pianist Anthony Ratinov shares a deep passion for music with audiences around the world, commanding the stage with "class, style, technical mastery, and solo prowess" (Beckmesser).

Ratinov won 3rd Prize at the 2024 Concours Musical International de Montréal, where he was praised for his “striking confidence in taking risks” (Le Devoir). In 2025, he was awarded 2nd Prize at the National U.S. Chopin Competition and went on to earn critical acclaim at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, where Gramophone praised his "characterful narrative" and "discerning musicianship," highlighting a "fusion of leanness and warmth" in performances described as "memorable long after the performance."
