Kirill Gerstein (Russian: Кирилл Герштейн ) (born 23 October 1979) is a Russian-American pianist. He is the sixth recipient of the Gilmore Artist Award. An American citizen since 2003, Gerstein divides his time between the United States and Germany and is currently a professor of piano at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart.

In April 2010, Gerstein was awarded Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Career Grant.

Gerstein’s festival appearances include engagements with the Aspen Music Festival, Blossom Festival with the Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago’s Grant Park Music Festival, Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and—with the Philadelphia Orchestra—Bravo! Vail, Mann Music Center, and Saratoga Chamber Music Festival. He debuted at the Salzburg Festival playing solo repertoire and piano-duo works with András Schiff.

Gerstein was born in Voronezh in the former Soviet Union to a Russian Jewish family and began playing the piano at age three. At the age of 11, he won his first competition—the International Bach Competition in Gorzów, Poland. Though he studied classical piano formally, he also learned to play jazz by listening to his parents’ record collection. At the age of 14, he met jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton at a festival in St. Petersburg, which led to a full-scholarship offer to study jazz piano at Boston’s Berklee College of Music. Gerstein was the youngest student ever admitted to the school.

Though Gerstein now records for Myrios Classics, his 2004 debut recital recording of works by Bach, Beethoven, Gershwin (arranged by Earl Wild), and Scriabin was released on Oehms Classics.
