The brilliant Georgian maestro Mariam Batsashvili plays in Shropshire for the first time. She won First Prize in the 10th Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht 2014, and since then she has become a world-famous pianist, performing in over 30 countries, playing in the world’s most famous venues. Mariam’s technique is flawless and she plays with passion and a deep understanding of the music.
Her musicianship seems to connect directly with one’s heart and her colours of sound, thoughtful interpretations and stupendous touch move and delight her audiences. As a BBC New Generation Artist, she made her debuts at the Cheltenham Music Festival, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and the Ulster Orchestra at the BBC Proms.
