The explosive and sensual French-Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili will perform on July 12 at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus with the Athens State Orchestra under the direction of Lukas Karytinos.
Thanks to a fiery combination of talent, virtuosity, expressivity, and brilliance, Georgian piano superstar Katia Buniatishvili is always able to captivate her audiences wherever she appears, performing highly demanding works and delivering genuinely passionate and inspired readings.
This year we welcome her to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus to perform perhaps the most popular piano concerto of all time, Tchaikovsky’s No. 1.
Lukas Karytinos said: "Khatia Buniatishvili is one of the most recognised pianists, who shines with her skill and personality. We are lucky that the time was found for this cooperation, and I am sure it will also enchant the Greek audience.
"Tchaikovsky’s concerto suits her temperament and is so popular with the world audience. The Concerto for Orchestra is one of the most important works of the 20th century. It is genius, and as its title says, every orchestral group and musician interprets its musical text like a soloist.
"It is a work that is very difficult to perform and highlights the level and abilities of the orchestra, but at the same time, it is extremely pleasant and interesting for the listener. It is a work that is not often performed, which is why I chose it for our concert. It is an opportunity for our audience to hear and enjoy it, and even in the evocative Odeon."
