Experience Grigory Sokolov live on May 12th

Grigory Sokolov will perform a solo piano recital at the Conservatorio di Musica "Giuseppe Verdi" in Milan on May 12, 2027. Sokolov is renowned for his intensely individual and deeply considered interpretations, characterized by a meticulous attention to voicing, dynamic range, and structural clarity. He avoids extensive recording, making his concerts highly sought-after events. His repertoire spans from early music to contemporary composers, though he frequently returns to the works of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, and Chopin. He is noted for a distinctive sound production and a refusal to compromise his artistic vision.

The Conservatorio di Musica "Giuseppe Verdi," founded in 1864 as the Regio Conservatorio di Musica, holds a prominent position within Italian musical education. It evolved from earlier musical institutions dating back to the Napoleonic era. Named in honor of the composer Giuseppe Verdi – who himself had connections to Milanese musical life and contributed financially to its development – the conservatoire has trained numerous celebrated musicians across various disciplines. The building itself is located near Teatro alla Scala and reflects 19th-century architectural styles.
