Pianist

Music and meditation have long gone hand in hand – in everything from yoga studios to mindfulness apps. The pianist and neuropsychologist Nicolas Namoradze goes one step further by introducing meditation techniques to the concert hall. Arvo Pärt’s deeply introspective music provides the ideal backdrop, creating an entirely new listening experience with guided meditation and flexible seating – whether on chairs, beanbags, or (your own) yoga mat.

Beethoven & Poulenc Trios

This all-Bach program features two brilliant, beloved works that showcase the virtuosic violin playing of Daniel Phillips—the Violin Concerto in E Major and the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3—while pianist Nicolas Namoradze solos in arguably Bach’s best-known keyboard concerto: the Concerto in D Minor.

Pianist Nicolas Namoradze, who won the Honens International Piano Competition in 2018 and made his Festival debut in 2022, returns with a rich recital program that features selections from one of Bach’s most seminal works, The Art of Fugue, and Schubert’s final piano sonata—the exquisite Sonata in B-flat Major, which Schubert wrote just months before his death at the age of 31.

Nicolas Namoradze Piano Recital

Pianist and composer Nicolas Namoradze made his career breakthrough in 2018 as winner of the triennial Honens International Piano Competition. His eloquent pianism, open-hearted and seemingly infinite in expressive nuance, is matched by his ability to create thoroughly idiomatic arrangements for his instrument. The latter are on display this evening in Namoradze’s thrilling transcriptions of works by Beethoven and Ravel, noble companions to his choice of original compositions.
