Life

Zenzipér was born in Leningrad (today's Saint Petersburg) in 1958. He completed his studies and the subsequent aspirantur at the St. Petersburg Conservatory with Grigori Lipmanowitsch Sokolow and Natan Jefimowitsch Perelman . When he was nineteen, he was still a lecturer at the conservatory during his studies.

In 1985 Zenzipér moved to live with his relatives in the GDR. This is how he escaped the threat of repression in the USSR. A turning point followed in his career as a concert pianist. Through the mediation of Amadeus Webersinke , Zenzipér received a teaching position at the Dresden University of Music in 1986. He has been professor of piano there since 1992, and from 1993 he has succeeded Webersinke. Since 2017 he has been teaching at the Brescia Music Academy in Italy.

Zenzipér lives with his family in Schnackenburg. His wife is the pianist Tatjana Zenzipér.

With the engagement as pianist in the trio "Ex Aque" with Antje Weithaas and Michael Sanderling in 1987 Zenzipér's career got a significant impulse. During this time he played duos with Michael Erxleben and Heike and Torsten Jannicke, among others. In October 1987 he gave a concert in Germany for the first time.

Zenzipér has performed as a soloist with the Staatskapelle Dresden , the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin , the Czech Philharmonie , the Bruckner Orchester Linz , the Slovak Philharmonie , the Moscow Philharmonic , the Dresden Philharmonie , the Konzerthausorchester Berlin , the Kraków Philharmonie, the Czech Philharmonic and the State Orchestra St. Petersburg . He played at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival , the Munich Piano Summer and the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) .

Several of Zenzipér's students have won prizes at international competitions. Regular concert tours and master classes take him to Russia, China, Poland, Argentina, Italy, Malta, Spain, the Czech Republic, Israel, Japan, South Korea, the USA and Switzerland.

Zenzipér is also a member of the jury for various international competitions. He campaigns for Russian-German cultural understanding and, together with Andreas Graf von Bernstorff, initiated the establishment of the Gartow Foundation to promote young musical talent in St. Petersburg.

Zenzipér was the founder in 2001 and until 2004 festival director of the Dreiklangfestival in the triangle of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Schubertiaden Schnackenburg

Zenzipér is the founder and artistic director of the Schubertiaden in Schnackenburg . The series began with a concert in Gartow Castle in 1989. The nature there reminded Zenzipér of the summers of his childhood, which he had spent with his grandfather in the Russian-Finnish border region. In the former office building of the nearby Schnackenburg he found a suitable setting for summer concerts. He put his forester grand piano in the house and initially played for himself. With the window open, he found numerous listeners, including the then city director Ortmanns. Zenzipér then began to organize free concerts together with chamber music partners.

After reading a book about Franz Schubert and taking lessons in music in Vienna, Zenzipér got the idea to start Schubertiaden in Schnackenburg. To this end, he founded a support association.

Eckart Haupt , Ilya Konovalov, Leonid Gorokhov, Alexander Rudin, Friedrich-Wilhelm Junge , Sergei Dogadin, Vladimir Jurwoski and Gija Kanscheli were guests at the Schubertiads .
