Alexander Braginsky

Alexander Iosifovich Braginsky (Russian: Александр Иосифович Брагинский, Aleksandr Iosifovič Braginskij; May 29, 1944) is a Russian-born pianist and pedagogue, currently living in the United States.

In addition to his teaching schedule, Braginsky continues to perform, mostly as a soloist and a chamber musician (with his cellist wife).

Braginsky realized the possibility of combining his piano artistry with the computer technology of the late 1980s, adding a novel dimension to his performances.

[1] In 2002 Braginsky founded the Minnesota International Piano-e-Competition[2] that occurs every two years and features the Disklavier-Pro pianos, produced by Yamaha.

Many of the competition's former prizewinners and contestants have gone on to achieve significant success on the international concert stage, including Mei-Ting Sun, Jan Lisiecki, Eric Lu, among others.
