The Times has written that Alina Ibragimova performs with “a mixture of total abandonment and total control that is in no way contradictory” and that she is “destined to be a force in the classical music firmament for decades to come”.
As soloist/director Alina, has toured with the Kremerata Baltica, Britten Sinfonia, Academy of Ancient Music, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
With regular recital partner, Cédric Tiberghien and in solo and chamber music, Alina has appeared at venues including the Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw, Mozarteum, Musikverein, Carnegie Hall, Palais des Beaux Arts, Vancouver Recital Series, and at festivals including Salzburg, Verbier, MDR Musiksommer, Manchester International, Lockenhaus and Aldeburgh.
Born in Russia, in 1985, Alina studied at the Moscow Gnesin School before moving with her family to the UK in 1995 where she studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School and Royal College of Music, and was a member of the Kronberg Academy Masters programme. Alina’s teachers include Natasha Boyarsky, Gordan Nikolitch and Christian Tetzlaff.
Cédric Tiberghien studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Frédéric Aguessy and Gérard Frémy and was awarded the Premier Prix in 1992, at the age of just 17. He was then a prize winner at several major international piano competitions (Bremen, Dublin, Tel Aviv, Geneva, Milan), culminating with the 1st Prize at the prestigious Long-Thibaud Competition in Paris in 1998, alongside with five special awards, including the Audience Award and the Orchestra Award.
Recital plans include several projects at the Wigmore Hall’s prestigious Master Series in London, performances at the Celebrity Series in Boston, the International Piano Series at London’s South Bank Centre, Bunka Kaikan Tokyo and the Piano Series Lyon.
Cédric Tiberghien is also a dedicated chamber musician, with regular partners including violinist Alina Ibragimova, soprano Sophie Karthäuser and cellist Pieter Wispelwey. His passion for chamber music is reflected in numerous recordings – a disc of songs with texts by Verlaine (Cypres), and four projects with Alina Ibragimova; works by Schubert (Hyperion), Ravel and Lekeu, (Hyperion), Szymanowski (Hyperion) and the complete Beethoven violin sonatas (Wigmore Live).
