An intimate candlelight recital with Alexander Gurning

Alexander Gurning's career began with a solid classical training. His musical horizons have since broadened through his repertoire as a soloist, chamber musician, jazz musician, contemporary composer and film musician. This makes him one of the most eclectic and original artists of his generation. His musical education was strongly influenced by French and Russian influences: he began his piano studies with François Henri Aubin and continued at the Brussels Royal Conservatoire with Nicole Henriot-Schweitzer and Eugène Moguilevsky, where he became his assistant. He then went on to perfect his skills at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. His atypical recitals are driven by his unquenchable desire to travel across languages and cultures, joyfully mixing Bach, Debussy, Coltrane, improvisations and original compositions tinged with impressionism, romanticism and groove. Alexander Gurning has been a piano teacher at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège since 2022.
