Wassermann Piano Series presents Kit Armstrong

“Here is a pianist who seems to be on his way to lofty heights.” (Alfred Brendel) At the age of 9, Armstrong became a full-time undergraduate student at Utah State University studying biology, physics, mathematics as well as piano with Irving Wassermann (2001–2002).

Described by the New York Times as a “brilliant pianist” who combines “musical maturity and youthful daring in his exceptional playing”, Kit Armstrong performs as a soloist with some of the world’s most famous orchestras while maintaining an active career as a recitalist and composer. Armstrong’s piano recordings include the albums Bach, Ligeti, Armstrong (2013) and Liszt: Symphonic Scenes (2016) on Sony Classical, a double CD dedicated to a panorama of works by William Byrd and John Bull: The Visionaries of Piano Music (2021) on Deutsche Grammophon, and Mozart’s violin sonatas with Renaud Capuçon (2023).
