Pavel Kolesnikov live in Gateshead

Experience Pavel Kolesnikov live on February 28th

Pavel Kolesnikov, a Russian pianist celebrated for his deeply thoughtful and poetic interpretations, will perform at The Glasshouse International Centre For Music in Gateshead on February 28, 2027. Kolesnikov’s playing is often described as possessing a remarkable clarity and sensitivity, frequently focusing on the Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire, though he also explores contemporary works. He is particularly known for his interpretations of Rachmaninoff and Chopin, bringing a nuanced understanding of phrasing and emotional depth to his performances. He often programs works in unconventional combinations, encouraging listeners to hear familiar pieces in new contexts.

The Glasshouse, officially opening in late 2023, represents a significant investment in the cultural landscape of the North East of England. It consolidates the Sage Gateshead and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art into a single complex designed by David Chipperfield Architects. The concert hall within The Glasshouse is intended to be a world-class acoustic space capable of hosting a wide range of musical genres – from classical and orchestral performances to contemporary and popular music. It aims to build upon the legacy of the Sage Gateshead as a national resource for music education and performance, with expanded facilities for both.
