Daniil will perform frequently in Germany during the 2024/25 season, which opens and closes with performances with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. In September, he joins the orchestra under kapellmeister Andris Nelsons for performances of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 25, first on tour in Essen, Cologne, and at the Lucerne Festival (Sep 1–4), and then in the annual “Democracy Concerts” that launch the orchestra’s new season (Sep 6 & 8).

He returns to Leipzig next spring for Shostakovich Festival 2025. As well as performing the Russian composer’s chamber music with violinist Nikolaj Szeps Znaider, cellist Gautier Capuçon, and others, Trifonov reunites with Nelsons and the Gewandhaus orchestra for accounts of Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto and – with trumpeter Thomas Rolfs – his Concerto for Piano, Trumpet, and Strings (May 15–31).

Between his Leipzig dates, Trifonov undertakes collaborations with four more of Germany’s foremost orchestras. He embarks on a European tour with Jakub Hrůša and the Bamberg Symphony, performing Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini in Graz, Vienna, Ljubljana, and Zagreb, as well as Dvořák’s concerto in Bamberg, Brno, and Linz (Oct 21–Nov 5). With Alan Gilbert and Hamburg’s NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, he plays Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G (Oct 3 & 4); with Boian Videnoff and the Mannheim Philharmonic, he performs Schumann’s sole concerto (Feb 9); and with Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic, he undertakes Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto (Dec 29–31).
