We are delighted to welcome Michail Lifits to the VIPA 2026 Piano Faculty.

Winner of the 57th Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition, Michail Lifits has established himself as one of the most distinguished pianists of his generation. He has performed at many of the world’s leading concert halls—including Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw—and has appeared as a soloist with renowned orchestras across Europe. An exclusive Decca Classics artist, he is equally celebrated for his solo, chamber music and teaching activities.

We are honoured to welcome Michail to Valencia and look forward to an inspiring week of music-making with our students.

Welcome to the VIPA family, Michail!
