Guido Sant’Anna & Giorgi Gigashvili

"The young man has charisma, stage presence, and an astonishing maturity and depth in his playing" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung). The Brazilian violin virtuoso Guido Sant’Anna first gained international attention in 2022 when he won the Fritz Kreisler Competition in Vienna at just 17 years old. Now, the exceptional artist is finally presenting himself in Linz: For his debut at the Brucknerhaus, he has prepared a program that combines romantic works by Robert Schumann and César Franck with Maurice Ravel's captivating Tzigane Rhapsody and the expressive Sonata for Violin and Piano by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski. He will be accompanied on the piano by Giorgi Gigashvili, one of the most exciting young pianists of our time.
