Yevgeny Olegovich Sudbin (Russian: Евгений Олегович Судьбин; born 19 April 1980)[1] is a Russian-born British concert pianist.[2] He studied at the musical school of the Leningrad Conservatory. After his family emigrated to Berlin when he was age 10 in 1990,[3][4] he won several German piano competitions,[5] and studied at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. He was a pupil of Christopher Elton at the Purcell School and the Royal Academy of Music for nine years.[6] His education has also included lessons with Murray Perahia, Claude Frank, Leon Fleisher, Stephen Kovacevich, Dmitri Bashkirov, Fou Ts'ong, Stephen Hough, Alexander Satz, and Maria Curcio.[citation needed]

Sudbin has recorded music of Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Medtner, Scarlatti, and Scriabin for the BIS label.[6][7]

Sudbin has lived in the UK since 1997. He made his debut at The Proms in July 2008.[8] That same month, Sudbin married Sally Wei in Italy.[9]

In September 2010, he was appointed visiting professor of piano at the Royal Academy of Music in London.[10]

In July 2017, a CD was released on Pentatone-Oxingale Records for the inaugural opening of the Tippet Rise Festival, featuring a performance by Sudbin, Christopher O’Riley, and Matt Haimovitz, among others.
