Biography of

Sergei Nakariakov

    Sergei Nakariakov has broken through more

    than a few of the perceived boundaries framing the world of the trumpet

    in classical music. Dubbed "The Paganini of the trumpet" by the Finnish

    press after a performance at the Korsholm Festival when he was only 13

    years old, and in 1997 "Caruso of the Trumpet" by Musik und Theater,

    Sergei has developed a unique musical voice, which is, much more than a

    vehicle for astonishing virtuosity. His repertoire includes not only the

    entire range of original literature for the trumpet; but is continually

    expanding into broader territories, including many fascinating

    transcriptions, while he searches for ever new means of musical

    expression. At the same time, he has single-handedly brought the

    flügelhorn to prominence on the concert platform.

    Born in Gorky in 1977, Sergei began to play the piano when he was six

    years old, but moved on to the trumpet, after a spine injury in 1986

    curtailed his piano studies. In the early years, his father tirelessly

    sought various trumpet teachers, however Sergei pays tribute to the

    technical and musical gifts he has learned from his father, Mikhail

    Nakariakov, who has transcribed a large repertoire of classical

    concertos for the trumpet - and with whom he studied daily from the very

    beginning, and since 1995 exclusively!

    From the age of ten Sergei started to perform with orchestras in major

    concert halls of the Soviet Union. In 1988, he got a diploma at a brass

    competition for adults. It became clear that in order to develop his

    carrier and to travel, he had to leave the Soviet Union. His hometown

    Nizhni Novgorod was a closed city! His family made the decision to move

    to Israel in order to give him the liberty to travel. In 1991 he enjoyed

    great success at the Ivo Pogorelich Festival in Bad Wörishofen. In

    August of the same year he made his debut together with the Lithuanian

    Chamber Orchestra at the Salzburg Festival. One year later 1992 Sergei

    was a guest at the “Schleswig - Holstein Musikfestival” where he was

    awarded the "Prix Davidoff" . Since then he has appeared in

    many of the worlds leading centers of music, including the Hollywood

    Bowl in Los Angeles, the Lincoln Center in New York, the Royal Festival

    Hall and the Royal Albert Hall in London. He performs in festivals in

    most European Countries. He tours for several weeks each year in Japan

    and also appears as guest soloist in North America and Canada. He is

    collaborating with the world's most feted musicians, orchestras and

    conductors, most recently in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs Élysées

    with the St.Petersburg Philharmonic and Youri Temirkanov. His

    international touring schedule includes performances in the foremost

    concert series all over the world, both with orchestra and in recital -

    accompanied by his sister pianist Vera Okhotnikova or Belgian pianist

    Maria Meerovitch.
