The annual concerts with pianist Grigory Sokolov celebrate their 20th anniversary this year! With few exceptions, since 2004, he has graced the main stage at Konserthuset with a concert every October. And he always surprises the audience with his extraordinary technical brilliance and exceptional ability to elevate the music to unprecedented heights.
The latest Sokolov concert revolved around two giants of classical music: Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Afterwards, he treated the ecstatic audience to six (!) encores – several pieces by Chopin and Jean-Philippe Rameau, as well as virtuosic music by Rachmaninov and Scriabin.
He often decides on the repertoire shortly before each concert. Therefore, we do not yet know what he will play at this year's concert, but whatever he chooses, we can be assured that he will once again astound everyone with his rare gift of uncovering new secrets in the music.
