    Whitsun
    Fri, 06 – Mon 09/06/2025

    Arrival on 06/06/2025

    Concert on Saturday, 7 June 9 pm“

    Among all the pianists who have existed and still exist, Grigory Sokolov is in a category of his own.” (Jan Brachmann, FAZ)
    The unique character of music played live is a crucial aspect of understanding the expressive beauty and compelling honesty of Grigory Sokolov's art. His poetic interpretations, which come alive with mystical intensity in the concert hall, are based on an in-depth knowledge of the repertoire. His programmes span the entire history of music: from transcriptions of sacred polyphony of the Middle Ages and works by Couperin, Rameau and Bach, to the Classical and Romantic repertoire and key compositions of the 20th century. Now Grigory Sokolov returns to Schloss Elmau – with what is sure to be a compelling and impressive concert evening.

Regardless of talent and technical excellence, there is usually a lack of performance practice and important networks. This is where Sir András Schiff's mentoring programme Building Bridges comes in, with which he has been providing targeted and sustainable support for young pianists since 2014.

    Opening concert Thursday, 3 July (piano recital with Sir András Schiff), further concerts Fri & Sat with young pianists
