On Saturday, May 12 (7pm), the astounding young Georgian pianist Mariam Batsashvili will give a solo recital of works by Liszt, Mozart and Schubert.

Mariam gained international recognition at the tenth Franz Liszt Piano Competition in 2014 when, at just 21 years old, she won the First Prize, as well as the Junior Jury Award and the Press Prize. She then received the prestigious Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli award in 2015, was nominated by the European Concert Hall Organisation as the ‘Rising Star’ for the 2016/17 season and was announced as a BBC New Generation Artist in 2017.
