Since his concerto debut at the age of ten, Latvian concert pianist Reinis Zarins has performed as a recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist throughout Europe and North America. Equally at home in classical and contemporary repertoire, his passion lies in the creation of programmes and interpretations that explore the deeper reasons and purposes behind music. Reinis Zarins regularly performs in his native Latvia and has won the country’s Grand Music Award three times in the category “Outstanding interpretation”. He also champions the work of Latvian composers, as his Spotify albums show. Laureate of 11 international competitions, Reinis has performed in prestigious music festivals, including Lucerne Festival, Bath International Music festival and Scotia Festival of Music. His thoughtful virtuosity has gathered audiences in Wigmore hall in London, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, New York’s Weill Recital hall in Carnegie hall, and Tchaikovsky Concert hall in Moscow. Reinis has collaborated with leading orchestras, like Moscow Chamber Orchestra, Kremerata Baltica, Ostrobothnian Chamber orchestra, and conductors Pierre Boulez, Peter Eötvös, Pablo Heras-Casado and Diego Masson. In addition, Reinis’ passion for seeking exchanges of beauty in all artforms brings fruit in various multimedia projects – for example, the show Seasons in collaboration with choreographer Kirill Burlov, as well as musicpaintingLIVE project with painter Maryleen Schiltkamp. reiniszarins.com
