Giorgi Gigashvili live in Baden-Baden

Experience Giorgi Gigashvili live on June 21st

Giorgi Gigashvili, a Georgian pianist recognized for his interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire, will perform at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden on June 21, 2026. His playing is often described as possessing a powerful technique combined with a lyrical sensibility, frequently drawing comparisons to pianists like Rachmaninoff due to his rich tone and expressive phrasing. Gigashvili has gained international acclaim through competition successes, including winning the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2015, and subsequent performances worldwide.

The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden is a renowned concert hall with a significant history rooted in operatic performance. Originally built in 1835 as a court theatre for Grand Duke Leopold of Baden, it underwent substantial reconstruction in the early 20th century, reopening in 1998 following extensive modernization led by architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. The hall is particularly celebrated for its exceptional acoustics – considered amongst the best in Europe – achieved through its vineyard-style seating arrangement and specifically engineered sound reflection panels. It primarily hosts opera, chamber music, and orchestral concerts and is known for its commitment to high-quality audio recording and broadcast capabilities.
