Grigory Sokolov live in Frankfurt

Experience Grigory Sokolov live on April 10th

Grigory Sokolov, a Russian pianist renowned for his intensely personal and deeply considered interpretations, will perform at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt on April 10, 2027. Sokolov is celebrated for his meticulous preparation, rejecting recordings and prioritizing the live concert experience. His playing is characterized by a profound understanding of structure, a distinctive voicing of chords, and a wide dynamic range – often moving from near silence to powerful outbursts. He frequently performs works from the core classical and romantic repertoire, with particular affinity for composers like Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms, but also explores composers such as Scriabin and Ravel.

The Alte Oper Frankfurt (Old Opera) holds significant cultural importance. Originally opened in 1880, it served as Frankfurt’s principal opera house until it was heavily damaged during World War II. While initially slated for demolition post-war, public outcry led to its reconstruction between 1968 and 1981. The restored Alte Oper now functions as a multi-purpose venue hosting opera performances, concerts – including orchestral and chamber music – ballet, and other events.
