Hailed as “one of the most thoughtful and sensitive of British pianists” (The Times), Mishka Rushdie Momen’s wide repertoire focuses on Mozart, Schubert, and Schumann, whilst reaching back to Gibbons and Rameau. Committed to performing new music, Mishka has commissioned works by Nico Muhly and Vijay Iyer.
Mishka’s recital highlights include Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Lucerne Festival, Tonhalle Zurich, Wigmore Hall, Antwerp’s deSingel, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Phillips Collection in Washington DC, New York’s 92Y and Carnegie Hall.
Equally at home as a chamber musician, Mishka’s chamber partners include Ian Bostridge, Mark Padmore, Angela Hewitt, Steven Isserlis, with festival performances including Rheingau Festival, Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Hindsgavl, Chipping Campden, Trasimeno Festival, Casals Forum at Kronberg, and IMS Prussia Cove.
Recent and upcoming concerto highlights include The Royal Danish Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, Mannheim Chamber Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss, Britten Sinfonia and play/directing with Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, working with Dinis Sousa, Anu Tali, Paul Meyer, Case Scaglione and Natalia Ponomarchuk.
Mishka’s latest release Reformation (Hyperion, 2024) presents the works of William Byrd, John Bull, Orlando Gibbons and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, performed on the modern piano. The album was described in The Times’ selection of the best releases of 2024 as “a triumph”, as “quietly beguiling” (The Guardian), “performed with thrilling exuberance and subtlety” (The Spectator).
