Lili Bogdanova is a Bulgarian pianist based in Berlin, who performs worldwide as a soloist and a chamber musician.
Lili Bogdanova, who was voted Young Musician of the Year by the Bulgarian National Radio in 2014, can already look back on an extensive concert career. She has performed worldwide as a soloist and given concerts in Bulgaria, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Slovakia, Serbia, Greece, Japan and the USA.
Some of her highlights of the past years were her performances with Brahms‘ First Piano Concerto and Beethoven’s Triple Concerto at the Metropolitan Theater in Tokyo with the local Mozart Virtuoso Orchestra, a concert with Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor with the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra as well as her successes at numerous international competitions (e.g. Strumenti e musica, Italy; „Princess Lalla Meryem“, Morocco etc.) and the release of her debut CD with works by Claude Debussy and César Franck. She played live on Deutschlandfunk Kulturradio and Rbb Kulturradio.
Chamber music is a big part of Lili’s music life which has led her to perform at venues like the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Konzerthaus Berlin, Kunsthaus Salzwedel. She is the First Prize winner of the 2023 Ilmari Hannikainen Piano Chamber Music Competition together with her Trio Brontë, where at the Final round they performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with Jyväskylä Sinfonia under the baton of Jan Söderblöm.
Lili has been generously supported by the Lucia Löser Foundation for the past 5 years and has also been a scholarship holder of the American Foundation in Bulgaria, Foundation Clavarte, Deutschlandstipendium, the Ottilie Selbach Redslob Foundation and others. Since 2019 she has been part of Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Berlin e. V.
In 2023 she started her own concert series at Salon L’ecritoire in Berlin with the financial support of Deutsche Orchester-Stiftung through their #MusikerZukunft Scholarship programme.
