Giorgi Gigashvili

Giorgi Gigashvili Hinter den Spiegeln

Für den jungen Georgier Giorgi Gigashvili ist es ein Leichtes, seine klassische Pianistenkarriere konzentriert zu verfolgen und gleichzeitig seiner Leidenschaft für stilistisch experimentelle und elektronische Musik nachzugehen. Diese bewies er vor zwei Jahren, als er mit einem klassischen Klavierrezital und seinem Bandprojekt „Georgia on my mind“ beim Heidelberger Frühling Musikfestival zu Gast war. 2025 kehrt der begabte Freigeist mit einem Programm nach Heidelberg zurück, das es in sich hat: Ausgehend von Ravels mystischem „Miroirs“-Zyklus und dem traumverlorenen wie emotional packenden „Postlude“ von Josef Bardanashvili wagt sich Gigashvili zur sehr physischen Klaviersonate Nr. 6 von Galina Ustwolskaya und Prokofjews erster seiner drei sogenannten „Kriegssonaten“ vor.Das Konzert ist Teil des Musikpreises des Kulturkreises der Deutschen Wirtschaft, mit dem Giorgi Giashvili 2024 ausgezeichnet wurde. Er überzeugte die Jury mit seiner außergewöhnlichen Bühnenpräsenz, seiner Musikalität und seinem solistischen Auftreten. Der begehrte Preis umfasst neben einem Preisgeld die Kulturkreis-Tournee mit Auftrittsmöglichkeiten bei den renommierten Partnerfestivals, u. a. beim Heidelberger Frühling Musikfestival, Beethovenfest Bonn und den Festspielen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Discover Talent: Giorgi Gigashvili / Piano recital

»He is a particularly great talent. I was fascinated by his incredible intuition when we played together. He also plays jazz and pop, composes and sings. The new generation is very open and flexible,« enthuses violinist Lisa Batiashvili about the young pianist Giorgi Gigashvili. The Georgian initially opted for a career as a singer and arranger of pop and folk music. In the end, however, he dedicated himself to playing the piano – and quite successfully at that. In recent years, he has won numerous prestigious piano prizes, most recently 2nd prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition in 2023. The openness praised by Batiashvili is also reflected in Giorgi Gigashvili’s programme. In addition to works by Ravel and Prokofiev, the programme also includes two rarely heard composers: Josef Bardanashvili and Galina Ustvolskaya.

Rising Stars: Quatuor Agate

Four French musicians in Berlin formed Quatuor Agate, inspired by a Corsican concert invitation. Although the concert never happened, the quartet explores the string quartet repertoire, from Haydn to a new commissioned work by Anna Korsun. Nominated as Rising Stars by ECHO, they've become a close-knit musical community.

Rising Stars / Quatuor Agate

Quatuor Agate drew its name from Brahms’ Sextet No. 2, dedicated to the composer’s second love, Agathe von Siebold. For this programme, it pairs Ligeti’s quite Bartókian Quartet No. 1 and Dvořák’s Quartet No. 13, a triumph among his chamber music.
