Award-winning Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili will open her new year in performance with a Paris concert featuring music by celebrated composer Jean Sibelius this Friday.
Batiashvili will be on stage at the Maison de la Radio venue in the French capital with Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, led by their musical director Mikko Franck.
The evening’s program will open with what will be the French premiere of Lithuanian composer Raminta Serksnyte’s work De profundis for string orchestra.
It will be followed by Sibelius' renowned 1904 Violin Concerto, the only concerto work by Finland’s best known composer.

The Friday show will conclude with Hungarian composer Bela Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, praised by Maison de la Radio as "one of the most virtuoso pieces of the symphonic repertoire”.
Set to be broadcast live on France Musique, the Paris concert will mark the first performance of the year for Batiashvili, who received international acclaim throughout last year for live performances and recordings.
