Champagne & Chopin with Maestro Anthony Ratinov

Ratinov is the recent winner of the 3rd Prize at the prestigious 2024 Concours Musical International de Montréal, where he was praised for his “striking confidence in taking risks” and for his ability to “go beyond the virtuoso challenge and have fun with the music” (Le Devoir). Ratinov also won the 2nd Prize at the 2025 U.S. Chopin Competition, and in 2023 won the 2nd Prize at the Busoni International Piano Competition with his performance of Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto, lauded for “sporting a pianism at the highest level… with admirable dexterity and stainless precision” (L’Ape Musicale). Some of Ratinov’s additional honors include the 1st Prize at the 2023 Ricard Viñes International Piano Competition, the 2nd Prize and Audience Favorite Prize at the 2023 València Iturbi International Piano Competition, and the 2nd Prize at the 2022 Olga Kern International Piano Competition.
