Isoldens Liebestod
Only piano has never occupied the Latvian-born Georg Kjurdian (*1994). He started playing guitar at the age of four and composition at the age of 8. Georg got acquainted with the piano at the age of ten, which he has since described as his greatest passion and experimental scene.
Having come to Germany at the age of 18, he considers Hisako Kawamura, Arnulf von Arnim, Andreas Reiner and Evgeni Sinaiski as the ones who have most influenced his skills and musical worldview. A laureate of international competitions (such as the 14th Bach Competition in Leipzig), a dedicated soloist and chamber musician, Georg Kjurdian is dedicated, among other things, to unconventional programming concepts and the new concert formats that continue to make classical music relevant to listeners.
In early 2023, his debut CD will be released on the label “Challenge Records”, where he will play the works of the 3 big Bs (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms).
