Programme
Overview

Works by Chopin, Liszt and Prokofiev.

High gloss with depth - already familiar with the piano keys at the tender age of three, Khatia Buniatishvili was on stage at an early age and completed her first European tour at the age of ten. In 2008, the gates to the Olympus of the international cultural scene opened - which the young pianist quickly conquered with her deeply soulful interpretations and her characterful glamour. Growing up in war-torn Georgia, even as a child she wanted nothing more than love and world peace, the artist revealed to the classical music magazine Crescendo in an interview a few years ago. Today, as a globally celebrated star pianist, she can emphasize this cause, for example at benefit concerts in solidarity with Ukraine, for victims of the Syrian civil war and as an ambassador for the children's charity “Plan International”.

The Freiburg Concert Hall is delighted to welcome Khatia Buniatishvili for the first time following her celebrated interpretation of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in May 2022 to present at a piano recital in Freiburg. Far-sightedness and personal approach are the hallmarks of her programming for solo evenings. One thing you can be sure of is that this artist only shows herself with hand-picked pieces that she has something to say about. She once revealed that she sees the musical text like a composed love letter: “The score is like a letter to establish the connection between the composer and myself. I have to feel this connection in love in order to decide whether I want to play a composition or not.” How fortunate for music that Khatia Buniatishvili does not lack love!

Venue Info

Freiburg Concert Hall - Freiburg im Breisgau
Location   Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 1

The Freiburg Konzerthaus is a concert hall in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, that was opened to the public in 1996. Based on plans by architect Dietrich Bangert, the building is used for concerts and performances, as well as conventions and meetings. Under the working title "Cultural Event and Conference Location" ('Kultur- und Tagungstätte,' KTS), it was one of the most controversial building projects in Freiburg since the end of World War II. Until 2016, it served as the headquarters of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra. With its multiuse great hall, it serves as a venue for a range of diverse events.

The concert hall is located on Bismarckallee between Bertoldsstraße and Sedanstraße on the western side of Freiburg's old city. The Wiwilí bridge connects the Konrad-Adenauer-Platz courtyard directly to the lawn in front of the Herz-Jesu church in the adjacent neighbourhood of Stühlinger. The back of the building borders the city block of 'Stadttheater.

According to the architect Dietrich Bangert, the building cannot be associated with any currently established architectural style or tradition. The halls have been loosely integrated into the asymmetrical base of the building and the foyer extends over several floors and multiple staircases; due to this, the hall's construction is said to represent "a small piece of the city under a single roof". Furthermore, the facade almost completely reconstructs the former borders of the city block and the building adapts to the surrounding cityscape by having the same height as the neighboring buildings.

Rolf-Böhme-Saal
This rectangular concert hall is the heart of the Konzerthaus and built like a nave. It is 47 m long, 19 m wide, and has an average height of 19 m. The hall was named after Freiburg's former mayor Rolf Böhme, in whose term the Konzerthaus was built. The room can hold up to 1,744 people, which makes it the second biggest concert hall in Baden-Württemberg after the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden.
