Daumants Liepiņš

Young Latvian pianist Daumants Liepins is one of the piano world’s most exciting new talents. In 2019 he took First Prize along with the Public and Orchestra prizes at the prestigious Maria Canals International Piano competition in Barcelona, and was awarded the Verbier Festival’s Vendôme Prize. He then topped Pianist magazine’s list of ‘Pianists to Look Out For in 2020’. Already firmly established as a core artist in his home country, he opened the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra’s 2020/21 season with Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto.
