Renowned Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili is launching her new year of performances with a programme of shows at the Berliner Philharmoniker, after joining artists leading a Christmas concert attended by the German president last month.
German-based Batiashvili, whose recordings and performances have been recognised by prizes including two ECHO Klassik awards and the MIDEM Classical Award, will join the Philharmoniker orchestra led by Alan Gilbert between January 24-26.
The three-show bill will will involve performances of classical works by Sergei Prokofiev and Richard Strauss, as well as the European premiere of Metacosmos by Anna Thorvaldsdottir.
A preview for the show by the Philharmoniker venue said Prokofiev’s “thoroughly lyrical work” would be performed by Batiashvili, “one of the foremost violinists of her generation”.
