Andrey Gugnin has a special relationship with Eelswamp. He was the first musician whom I invited from overseas, performing in March 2014. He has visited us almost annually since then. This will be the tenth anniversary of his first visit to Eelswamp. During those years, we have seen Andrey's career skyrocket, winning three prestigious international competitions, releasing numerous CDs on Hyperion and Steinway and Sons labels. Most recently, Andrey won the 2023 German Piano Award.
