the Gnessins Russian Academy of Music. He studied with Lina Bulatova, herself
a pupil of the revered professor Helen Gnessina and legendary H. Neuhaus, and
later became her assistant for two years.

over the country, he decided to broaden his musical horizons and moved to the
West.
He attended several masterclasses given by L. Berman, K. H. Kämmerling,
B. Rhingeissen and followed post-graduate studies at the Hochschule für Musik
in Weimar and the Sweelinck Conservatorium, Amsterdam.
After winning major prizes at international piano competitions Misha was invited
to take part in important events such as ‘Chopin-Liszt’ Festival in Leipzig and
perform with first-class orchestras. Misha Fomin is now extensively in demand
throughout Europe and is frequently heard in TV and radio broadcasts.
Recordings he made have received critical acclaim in the leading classical piano
magazines.

Musikverein in Wien.
Misha has always been renowned for his fine communicative skills in front of an
audience, allied to effortless technique and inspiring musicianship in everything
he performs.
