Hailed as “one of the most thoughtful and sensitive of British pianists” (The Times), Mishka Rushdie Momen captivates audiences with her expressive playing.
Mishka Rushdie Momen’s wide repertoire focuses on Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann, whilst reaching back to Gibbons and Rameau. Also committed to performing new music, Mishka Rushdie Momen has commissioned works by Nico Muhly and Vijay Iyer, and premiered An Inviting Object by Héloïse Werner at the Lucerne Summer Festival.
Recent and upcoming concerto highlights include debuts with Hiroshima Symphony, Royal Danish Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and Mannheim Chamber Orchestra. Further orchestral engagements to date include City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss, Orchestre Nationale d’Île de France, Britten Sinfonia and play/ directing Mozart with Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, working with Dinis Sousa, Anu Tali, Christoph Koncz, Case Scaglione and Natalia Ponomarchuk.
Rushdie Momen’s last release Reformation (Hyperion, 2024) presents the works of William Byrd, John Bull, Orlando Gibbons and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, performed on the modern piano. The album was described in The Times’ selection of the best releases of 2024 as “a triumph”, as “quietly beguiling” (The Guardian), “performed with thrilling exuberance and subtlety” (The Spectator), topped the Classical Charts in July 2024 and chosen to be as a Classic FMDiscovery of the Week. Her debut solo recording, Variations, was released in October 2019 by SOMM Recordings, featuring works by Robert and Clara Schumann, Brahms, and Mendelssohn.
