Winner of the 2024 Leeds International Piano Competition and recipient of the Dame Fanny Waterman Gold Medal, 25-year-old Canadian pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko has been celebrated by audiences, critics and composers alike for his communicative power, refined technical command and artistic maturity. A few months before his triumph in Leeds, Jaeden became the first Canadian Grand Prize Laureate in an instrumental edition of the Concours musical international de Montréal in May 2024.
An experienced recitalist, Jaeden has made prominent debuts at the Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts in Illinois, Vancouver Recital Society, Münchner Künstlerhaus, Salle Cortot and Sociedad Filarmónica de Bilbao.
Jaeden first gained international recognition in 2022, claiming first prize at the Hilton Head International Piano Competition, the Maria Canals International Music Competition, and the 20th Paloma O’Shea Santander International Piano Competition, where he also won the Canon Audience Prize and the Chamber Music Award. In 2024, he was awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship.
He currently studies with Jacob Leuschner at the Hochschule für Musik Detmold and Benedetto Lupo at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
