Georgijs Osokins

Georgijs Osokins, the first Baltic (Latvian) pianist to establish himself at the highest level on the international music scene. He came to international attention at the age of 19 on reaching the final round of the 2015 Chopin Competition, where his “exceptional” and “unpredictable” performances led to invitations from venues including the Berlin Konzerthaus, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie and Tokyo’s Metropolitan Theatre Hall. He has since made debuts at, among others, London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, and the Salzburg and Shanghai Festivals, appearing in solo and chamber recitals as well as concerts with some of the world’s leading orchestras. Coming from a dynasty of pianists, Georgijs Osokins serves as a musical ambassador for the still little-known Baltic piano culture. Having studied at The Juilliard School and later in Germany, and worked closely with legends such as Gidon Kremer, Daniel Barenboim, and Christoph Eschenbach. Osokins embodies a rich tapestry of influences that shape his artistry.
