Boris Giltburg live in London

Experience Boris Giltburg live on July 24th

Boris Giltburg will perform at Wigmore Hall, London on July 24, 2026. Giltburg is a pianist known for his deeply thoughtful and structurally insightful interpretations, often praised for a blend of intellectual rigour and emotional depth. His repertoire is broad, encompassing works from the core classical and romantic periods alongside lesser-known composers, and he frequently explores the connections between music and other art forms. He is a past winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition.

Wigmore Hall holds a significant place in London’s musical landscape. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private concert hall for the Bechstein piano company, intended to showcase their instruments. Unlike larger venues, Wigmore Hall was conceived with exceptional acoustics as its primary focus – a characteristic that continues to define its appeal. It quickly became renowned for intimate performances and chamber music, fostering a tradition of showcasing established artists alongside emerging talent. The hall's relatively small size (544 seats) creates an unusually close connection between performers and audience members. Throughout its history, Wigmore Hall has remained independent, supported by donations and self-generated income rather than public funding, allowing it considerable artistic freedom in programming decisions.
