Kit Armstrong has fascinated the music world ever since he entered the international stage twenty years ago. Hardly any other young artist is as accomplished and versatile, hailed by the New York Times as a "brilliant pianist" who "combines musical maturity and youthful audacity in his exceptional playing". Kit Armstrong's approach to music is inspired by his education in sciences and mathematics. He has developed a strong artistic profile by tracing the roots of western classical keyboard music to the 16th century virginalists, making musical rarities an integral part of his performances and relating them to the great classical masterpieces of the piano literature.

With his Expedition Mozart project, Kit Armstrong has fulfilled a long-cherished dream. Together with a newly formed ensemble of close friends, he approaches Mozart's work from a new perspective. After concerts at the Luxembourg Philharmonie, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Kölner Philharmonie Philharmonie, the Klavier-Festival Ruhr and the Mozartfest Würzburg, the project has continued in January 2025 with performances at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, the Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Flagey in Brussels, the Alte Oper Frankfurt as well as the Elbphilharmonie Laeiszhalle Hamburg.

Born in Los Angeles in 1992, Kit Armstrong studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Royal Academy of Music in London. At 7, he started studying composition at Chapman University and physics at California State University, later also chemistry and mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania and mathematics at Imperial College London. He earned a master's degree in pure mathematics at the University of Paris-VI. The author Inge Kloepfer has written a biography of Kit Armstrong. The book “Metamorphosen eines Wunderkinds” was published by Berlin Verlag in spring 2024.
