 “Saskia Georgini sings, dreams, and abolishes time. She is inside the sound and the form: expression and abstraction, color and line, both in the moment and in infinity.” (Alain Lompech, Bachtrack)

Charles Richard-Hamelin, our distinguished Artistic Director, introduced us to the playing of this incredibly talented young Italian pianist. Indeed, both her performances and recordings have been lauded by audiences and critics alike.

Winner of the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg (2016), she appears regularly in recital and broadcast at venues such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall London, the Musikverein and Konzerthaus Vienna, Salzburg’s Mozarteum, and the Warsaw Philharmonic, to name just a few, and has appeared with distinguished orchestras and conductors.

A review of one of her recording of Liszt states, “With an incredible feeling for structure she stretches big arches from one piece to the other, she understands the art of making the sounds become liquid, and lets the magic floats weightlessly around the room.”

Georgini is also a dedicated chamber musician as well as an active recording artist with an extensive discography of solo and chamber music. Her Vancouver recital will include the familiar music of Chopin and Debussy, as well as music of two major women composers, Mélanie Bonis and Lili Boulanger.
