Georgy Tchaidze | Casalmaggiore

Georgy Tchaidze possesses “fine sensibility and perfectly honed technique” according to The Telegraph in its review of the young Russian pianist’s Wigmore Hall debut. Since becoming Prize Laureate of Honens International Piano Competition in 2009, Tchaidze has performed throughout Europe and North America to great acclaim, including debuts at Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto and Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York, and at festivals including Canada’s Toronto Summer Music, Ottawa International Chamber Music and France’s Piano aux Jacobins. His performance of Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto with Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra with Pinchas Zukerman was met with praise:

“commendable clarity … unusually powerful for a performance of so little ostentation” (Ottawa Citizen). He was also invited to perform for the Governor General of Canada at the special invitation of The Glenn Gould Foundation.
Tchaidze’s reputation as a sensitive collaborative pianist is blossoming. He tours regularly with Canada’s Cecilia String Quartet and performed this Spring with the esteemed Borodin Quartet. The Calgary Herald wrote about his performance with the Borodin Quartet: “Tchaidze was magnificent, matching the experienced string players note for note to produce a performance of rare beauty and musical conviction.”

Tchaidze has three recordings on the Honens label: a live recording with Cecilia String Quartet, an all-Schubert album and a disc of works by Medtner, Mussorgsky and Prokofiev. This Summer he returns to Berlin’s Konzerthaus for the Young Euro Classic Festival, and next season performs at the inaugural Lofoten Piano Festival in Norway. Tchaidze lives and studies in Berlin.

Among the awards he won, we remember in 2015 the TOP OF THE WORLD PIANO COMPETITION at Lofoten Piano Festival in Norway.
