Recital Asmik Grigorian

Zurich Opera House

In November, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, led by its founder and principal conductor Gintaras Rinkevičius, will join ERSO for a special performance at the Estonia Concert Hall. The program will feature Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, a work whose origins trace back to the city of Kassel, where Mahler composed his first vocal cycle, Songs of a Wayfarer. The emotional landscape of that cycle flows seamlessly into his First Symphony, a connection the composer himself often acknowledged. Mahler’s symphony will be paired with Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1, performed by celebrated Lithuanian pianist Lukas Geniušas.

Join us for an exquisite afternoon of music as Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian, hailed for her electrifying performances and velvet-wrapped steel voice, graces the stage at Hertz Hall. Accompanied by the talented pianist Lukas Geniušas, Grigorian will make a rare U.S. appearance, presenting an all-Russian-language debut recital for Cal Performances. This special event is set to take place on December 15, 2024, from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

The program promises an intimate exploration of the Russian romantic repertoire, featuring rarely heard songs described by Grigorian as "small pieces of opera in a few minutes." Audiences can look forward to an emotional journey through the works of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, including beloved pieces such as "None but the Lonely Heart" by Tchaikovsky and "Spring Waters" by Rachmaninoff, among others. Each selection showcases the depth of Russian romanticism, from the poignant melodies to the rich, expressive harmonies.

Tickets for this captivating recital start at $78, with season subscriptions available from April 23 and single tickets going on sale on August 6. Don't miss the opportunity to witness Asmik Grigorian's Cal Performances debut, an event made possible in part by S. Shariq Yosufzai and Brian James.

One of opera and art song’s brightest rising stars, Asmik Grigorian astounds audiences and makes headlines on seemingly every stage she touches—from the Salzburg Festival, where she has become a marquee name in recent years, to a sold-out Wigmore Hall in London, where she earned rave reviews. In this recital of songs by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff—each “akin to a small opera, a dramatic process,” according to Grigorian—she performs alongside her frequent musical partner, pianist Lukas Geniušas.
