Pianist

Since winning the Salzburg International Mozart Competition in 2016, Saskia Giorgini has secured prominence among the top flight of today’s artists with the heartfelt lyricism and musical intelligence of her pianism. She recalls the beauty and refinement of Belle Époque Paris in a programme that includes exquisite miniatures by Mel Bonis and Lili Boulanger and closes with L’isle joyeuse, Debussy’s seductive evocation of Aegean warmth and colour.

Saskia Giorgini piano

Wigmore Hall

Italian-Dutch pianist Saskia Giorgini is internationally acclaimed for her CD recordings and concert performances. She won both the Gramophone Awards 2025 and the Choc de Classica with her album Images, featuring works by Debussy. For her debut in the Main Hall of the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, she will perform Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto, one of the most beloved piano concertos ever written, in which French, Russian and Ukrainian folk tunes are masterfully incorporated into the impressive solo part.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances

The Concertgebouw

Celebrate love and passion this Valentine’s Day with the remarkable artistry of Saskia Giorgini as she shines on Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2. Giorgini plays as if she “has something to say, and she wears it on her sleeve.” (NativeDSD). Lina González-Granados leads the RPO with Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony, sweeping you away to misty landscapes and heartfelt melodies. Plus, Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps opens the concert with youthful energy and fresh springtime romance

Saint-Saëns & Mendelssohn

Eastman Theatre

A new generation of gifted Danish conductors is emerging in these years. Among the brightest talents is 30-year-old Christian Øland, who was educated at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and is therefore naturally linked to the music of his two home countries: Denmark and Finland.

Mozart and Carl Nielsen

Konservatoriets Koncertsal

The Italian-Dutch pianist won the Salzburg International Mozart Competition in 2016 and the following year made her debut at Vienna’s Musikverein. Of her recording of Liszt’s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, BBC Music Magazine wrote: ‘Giorgini’s affinity with this reflective music is evident from the outset … Her shaping of climaxes demonstrates complete control of pace and dynamics’.

Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2; Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6. Duration approx. 2 hours incl. intermission.
