Praised as much for his powerful virtuosity and deeply expressive approach as for his charismatic stage presence, Simon Trpčeski has captivated audiences worldwide for over two decades. Launched onto the international scene as a BBC New Generation Artist, he has collaborated with more than a hundred orchestras across four continents, including the London Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras, Orchestre National de France, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Royal Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki Philharmonics, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics, and The Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Seoul Philharmonic, NHK Symphony, Sydney and New Zealand Symphony Orchestras. A much sought-after soloist, he has worked with many of today’s most prominent conductors, earning a reputation as one of the most distinctive and compelling pianists of his generation. Highlights of the 2025–2026 season include season-opening concerts with the Prague Philharmonia under Emmanuel Villaume and the Seattle Symphony under Xian Zhang, as well as a North American tour featuring two appearances with the National Symphony Orchestra and Gianandrea Noseda (Saint-Saëns Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 5), and returns to the San Francisco Symphony with Cristian Măcelaru, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra with Peter Oundjian, and the Utah Symphony with Andrew Manze. In Europe, he appears at the Enescu Festival with the Romanian National Youth Symphony under Christian Reif, performs with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on tour in Spain with Vasily Petrenko, the Tonhalle Orchestra under Philippe Jordan, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo under Stanislav Kochanovsky. He also makes debuts with the Orchestra di Santa Cecilia under Manfred Honeck and the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra under Pablo González.
