Anna Margolina live in Potsdam

Experience Anna Margolina live on July 4th

Anna Margolina will perform at Villa Schöningen in Potsdam, Germany on July 4, 2026. Margolina is a Russian-German pianist known for her interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century composers, particularly Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, and Schumann. Her playing is frequently described as possessing both technical brilliance and deep emotionality, often highlighting the poetic aspects of the works she performs. She has received international recognition for her recordings and concert appearances.

Villa Schöningen, built between 1874 and 1877 for businessman Wilhelm Böckel, is a significant example of Italian High Renaissance Revival architecture in Germany. Commissioned to resemble a Florentine palazzo, the villa features elaborate ornamentation and extensive gardens. Throughout its history, it served as a private residence until being acquired by the state of Brandenburg in 1993. Following extensive restoration, it now functions as a state guesthouse used for international conferences and cultural events. The building’s interiors showcase opulent detailing including frescoes and marble work intended to evoke the atmosphere of Italian Renaissance palaces.
