One of the most accomplished violinists of her generation, Lisa Batiashvili performs works by Beethoven, Bartók, Franck, and fellow Georgian Ioseb Bardanashvili, with her compatriot, pianist Giorgi Gigashvili.Described by The Times as “the complete musician,” Batiashvili commands her place among the world’s foremost artists with performances of great insight and expressive eloquence. The German-based violinist, named Musical America’s 2015 Instrumentalist of the Year, an accolade reserved for artists of the highest calibre, also stands among the winners of Italy’s prestigious International Accademia Musicale Chigiana Prize.
Born in Tbilisi in 2000, Gigashvili’ musical career took a decisive turn in April 2019 when he won First Prize at the Vigo International Piano Competition, with Martha Argerich as president of the jury and Nelson Freire at her side. A few months later, Giorgi won Third Prize and the Audience Prize at the Sixty-Second Busoni Competition. “The 23-year-old Giorgi Gigashvili, a BBC New Generation artist and recipient of many international prizes – he also plays in an electronic band – is already a formidable performer.” (The Guardian)
