Ever since Kit Armstrong entered the international music stage twenty years ago, his activities have exerted an enduring fascination upon music lovers. Today he maintains an active career as pianist, composer, and organist. He performs as a soloist in major international venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Musikverein, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Suntory Hall Tokyo, and appears with some of the world’s finest orchestras, including the Vienna Philharmonic, Dresden Staatskapelle or NHK Symphony Orchestra. A passionate chamber musician, Armstrong has developed close artistic partnerships with other leading instrumental and vocal artists, as Renaud Capuçon, Benjamin Appl or Julian Prégardien. Born in 1992 in Los Angeles, he earned a bachelor’s degree in music at the Royal Academy of Music in London and a master’s degree in pure mathematics at the University of Paris VI.
