Igor Andreev
Co-Director
As a longtime assistant to Prof. Tomasz Herbut at the HKB and Konstantin Lifschitz at the HSLU, Igor Andreev comes into contact with many young pianists as part of his work. After the Bernese Chopin Society dissolved in 2015, in which he himself had performed as an aspiring pianist, he thought long and hard about a possible successor series that would continue to provide a platform for young pianists.
