This fall, Trifonov and Matthias Goerne give recitals of Schubert’s three great song cycles on a North American tour, comprising accounts of Schwanengesang in Quebec (Oct 13), Boston (Oct 24), and Houston (Oct 29); of Winterreise in Toronto (Oct 16), Dallas (Oct 27), and at Washington’s Kennedy Center (Oct 21); and of Die schöne Müllerin in New York, where the concert marks the first of the pianist’s four upcoming appearances at Carnegie Hall (Oct 19).

He and Goerne reunite next spring for similar recitals in Europe, undertaking all three cycles at the Leipzig Gewandhaus (Nov 18–22), Vienna Musikverein (Nov 24 –28), and Philharmonie de Paris (March 23–27), as well as reprising Schwanengesang in Baden-Baden, where – as at all their recitals of Schubert’s last, posthumously published cycle – Trifonov also plays the G-major Piano Sonata, D.894 (Nov 30).

Also in the 2025-26 season, Trifonov rejoins Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider for a European tour featuring music by Clara and Robert Schumann, Beethoven, and Webern, in Humlebæk, Denmark (May 8), Oslo (May 10), Berlin (May 11), Vienna (May 13), Munich (May 15), Hamburg (May 14), and Hannover (May 16).
