Pianist Khatia Buniatishvili will join forces once again with Academy of St Martin in the Fields for a concert in Hamburg’s stunning Elbphilharmonie directed by Tomo Keller. The concert will feature Khatia performing Mozart’s dark and stormy Piano Concerto no. 20 contrasting with his bright and spirited Piano Concerto no. 23, which were both released as a recording with ASMF in 2024.
ASMF will open the concert with excerpts from Sibelius’ Kuolema (Death) and will perform Haydn’s ‘Farewell’ Symphony No. 45 in F sharp minor as a (farewell) finale, where Haydn’s playful wit finds its way into this Symphony’s famous ending.
