Grigory Sokolov live in Monte-Carlo

Experience Grigory Sokolov live on December 17th

Grigory Sokolov, a Russian pianist renowned for his intensely individual and deeply considered interpretations, will perform at Auditorium Rainier III in Monte-Carlo, Monaco on December 17, 2026. Sokolov is celebrated for his meticulous approach to repertoire, often eschewing extensive recording in favor of prioritizing the live concert experience. His playing is characterized by a remarkable control of dynamics, tonal palette, and voicing, alongside a profound understanding of structure and phrasing. He frequently revisits core classical and romantic works, offering performances that are often described as revelatory due to their unique perspective and avoidance of predictable mannerisms.

Auditorium Rainier III opened in 1974 and is a major cultural venue within the Principality of Monaco. Designed by Monegasque architect Monaco-based Roland Ventura, it’s known for its excellent acoustics and relatively intimate seating capacity of approximately 800. The auditorium hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music concerts, opera, ballet, theatre productions and conferences. It's situated within the Monte Carlo Société des Bains de Mer complex and is a significant component of the principality’s artistic programming.
