Nikita Lukinov is a Scotland-based concert pianist praised for his “extraordinary breadth and freedom of imagination” (Gramophone), described as a “ true master of storytelling through music” (The Pianist), and named a “ Rising Star” by BBC Music Magazine. He has performed as a soloist across the UK, Europe, Asia, and Russia, appearing at leading venues including Wigmore Hall, Southbank Centre in London; Usher Hall in Edinburgh; Palau de la Música in Barcelona; Guangzhou and Shanghai Opera Houses; and the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Moscow. His performances have been regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland, and Scala Radio.
A recent milestone was his 2024/25 Scotland tour, comprising over 40 performances from the Borders to Orkney. Alongside major concert venues, the project included extensive outreach work in socially disadvantaged communities and special education settings, reflecting Nikita's commitment to widening access to high-quality live music. In 2025, Nikita was awarded 3rd Prize at the Málaga International Piano Competition and undertook a major tour of China, combining recitals with masterclasses at institutions including Beijing University and leading concert halls in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu, and Guangzhou.
Born in Russia, he studied at The Purcell School and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on full scholarships, completing Bachelor's, Master's, and Artist Diploma degrees. He has been a senior piano lecturer at RCS since 2021 and is among the youngest senior faculty members across the UK conservatoire sector. Nikita's debut album Kaleidoscope (KNS Classical, 2023) features works by Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, and Prokofiev. He is also active in developing innovative performance formats, including chamber concerto arrangements and cross-genre collaborations.
