Sergueï Markarov, pianist, UNESCO Artist for Peace, was born in Baku in 1953 and studied in St Petersburg and Moscow. He won the first prize for piano, teaching, chamber music and accompaniment at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in St Petersburg and the 1982 Alessandro Casagrande International Piano Competition in Italy. Since 1993, he has been performing in Europe’s most prestigious concert halls and at many festivals. He is also a member of several international competition juries and teaches at the Paris Ecole Normale de musique and Conservatoire municipal Jacques Ibert de Paris. UNESCO began naming Artists for Peace in 1995, International Year for Tolerance, to “sensitize public opinion about issues relating to peace, justice, children in need, the struggle against illiteracy, the environment and tolerance.” Among them are Chinese actress Gong Li, Japanese violinist Eijin Nimura, Mozambican painter Malangatana and Brazilian singer Gilberto Gil.
