Mariam Batsashvili

Charisma, brilliance, and depth of expression are qualities with which Mariam Batsashvili captivates live audiences worldwide. A meteoric career that has taken her to the most famous concert halls in Berlin, Hamburg, Salzburg, London, Paris, and Vienna. Mariam is also a frequent guest at major international music festivals. Since her internationally acclaimed awards at the Franz Liszt Competitions in Weimar (2011) and Utrecht (2014), Mariam Batsashvili's career has been closely linked to the name of this central musical figure of the 19th century. In addition to her unmistakable touch, she’s also praised for the "inner world" and the "nonchalant poetry" of Liszt's music, highlighting her soulful playing in the most virtuosic passages. Beyond Liszt's works, the pianist, who was part of two of the world's most exclusive young artist programs in the past decade as a "Rising Star" of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) and as a "BBC New Generation Artist," receives enthusiastic reactions for her interpretations of the piano works of Schubert, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. For several years, Mariam Batsashvili has regularly published short tutorials on her social media channels for professional and amateur pianists, addressing technical and performance practice challenges for a steadily growing fan base. The Georgian pianist also signed an exclusive contract with Warner Classics in 2019.
