Khatia Buniatishvili & Friends

For the finale to Khatia Buniatishvili’s Barbican residency, the pianist invites friends from the performing world to join her for an intimate evening of music and words

The event will feature violinist Nicola Benedetti, celebrated counter tenor Jakub Józef Orliński and soprano Axelle Saint-Cirel, who made such an impression opening the Olympics in Paris last year, as well as pianists Sodi Bradie, Hélène Mercier and Khatia’s sister, Gvantsa Buniatishvilli. Together, they will weave a programme of drama, poetry and music with the participation of a special guest actor.

The Georgian pianist (and Barbican regular) likes to shake things up. For The Evening Standard, ‘Buniatishvili’s individuality’ is ‘evident throughout the jaw-dropping, heart-breaking, hair-raising performance’. When she appeared here in 2022 one critic observed that this was ‘music-making for now, with her brand of emotional engagement often at the point of meltdown’. 

The end time for this concert will be added here closer to the performance date
