Mārtiņš Zilberts (1977-2024) was one of the most highly regarded pianists in Latvia and abroad —a notable répétiteur  and accompanist. In 2018, he received the Latvian National Opera Foundation Award for outstanding performance throughout the year; he was nominated for the Grand Music Award in 2019 for outstanding work in chamber ensemble.

From 2008 until his passing, Mārtiņš Zilberts was the principal repetiteur of the Latvian National Opera. He tirelessly continued to share his knowledge as a lecturer in chamber ensemble and piano accompaniment at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music. As a soloist, Mārtiņš Zilberts has performed with the Latvian National Opera and Ballet Orchestra, as well as the chamber orchestras of Jelgava and Ventspils. He was a sought-after orchestra pianist collaborating with the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and Sinfonietta Rīga. 

He was the founder and participant of many chamber music projects – including the LNSO Piano Trio, “Breakfast for Four,” Undertango, and others. An integral part of Mārtiņš’ work was his regular collaboration with many internationally renowned singers, including Inga Kalna, Liene Kinča, Kristīne Opolais, Aleksandrs Antoņenko, Egīls Siliņš, Asmik Grigorian, Irene Theorin, Andreas Bauer Kanabas, and others.
