Kirill Ogorodnikov performs both as a soloist and chamber musician. He has appeared in several festivals in Estonia and SaitenReise Gitarrenfestival in Germany. He has appeared twice as a soloist with the Pärnu City Orchestra, performing the Guitar Concerto by Heitor Villa-Lobos (2010) and premiering the Guitar Concerto by Estonian composer Gennadi Taniel.
Kirill Ogordonikov’s wide repertoire includes original works and transcriptions from Baroque to the present day, e.g. new Russian music and contemporary works by Estonian composers (Peeter Vähi, Tõnu Kõrvits, Robert Jürjendal, Ester Mägi). Additionally, he has given the premiere performances of solo guitar works dedicated to him by René Eespere (Twelve in Seven and Inventum) and Lauri Jõeleht (Sonata a la Arpa). In 2017, Kirill Ogorodnikov premiered his arrangements of romances by Pyotr Tchaikovsky with mezzo-soprano Iris Oja.
