“Out of the most technically fine young artists, Mukumi already stands out as an interpreter of class” – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
In October 2024, Nuron released his third album ‘Portraits of Bowen‘, which he dedicated entirely to the once renowned but now forgotten British composer York Bowen. The album was nominated for the International Classical Music Awards 2025 and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik 1/2025.
The 2024/25 season includes his second tour of Germany and his debut at the National Philharmonic of Ukraine in Kyiv with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine conducted by Maestro Sirenko. Further concerts are with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra with Maestro Papadopoulos, the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Julian Rachlin. The 2025/26 season includes the release of his fourth solo album and debuts in the concert hall of the LVSO in Vilnius with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra and the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz.
The German-Uzbek Pianist Nuron Mukumi was born in 1996 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. He began playing the piano at the age of six in the class of Prof. Popovich in Tashkent. A year later, he began conducting lessons with Prof. Neymer.
Nuron’s “take-off” from Uzbekistan to Europe was made possible by a video of a concert in which, as an 8-year-old boy, he conducted the National Symphony Orchestra of Uzbekistan whilst also playing the piano part of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor. As a result of the video, Nuron was offered a full scholarship at the Purcell School of Music in London, which he accepted at age eleven.
Three years later in 2010, Nuron was invited to the Hochschule für Musik in Frankfurt am Main as a junior student to study with Prof. Lev Natochenny and ultimately stayed with him for twelve years. Nuron finished his Bachelor’s degree with honours at the Kalaidos Hochschule für Musik in Zürich. In 2021 he graduated at the École Normale de Musique in Paris in the class of Marian Rybicki with the Diplome Supérieur de Concertiste. Nuron is currently completing his Konzertexamen degree under the guidance of Prof. Hubert Rutkowski at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg.
Nuron has performed at several international festivals such as the Biarritz Piano Festival, Oxford Piano Festival, Ruhr Piano Festival, Mozartfest in Würzburg, Mosel Music Festival and at the Rheingau Music Festival.
