Kirill Richter: Towards the Beloved City

On 17 October 2025, Queen Elizabeth Hall hosts the UK premiere of Kirill Richter’s new album “Towards the Beloved City”.

Richter’s music blends heartbreak and resilience with a quiet sense of hope. Alongside his latest works, the concert features his most celebrated compositions — admired for their cinematic scope, lyrical clarity and emotional honesty. He is joined on stage by violinist Alena Zinovieva and cellist Avgust Krepak, his long-time collaborators in the Richter Trio, known for their profound stage chemistry.

One of today’s most distinctive contemporary composers, Richter has created scores for ballet, film and global events such as the FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony. In London, he brings music that he calls a “soundtrack for life” — stories of searching for belonging and finding light in the dark.
