Tsotne Zedginidze

At his young age, Tsotne (*2009) has already shown to be a unique talent with an overwhelming musicality. He started to compose at the early age of five and became increasingly interested in music of the 20th and 21st century during his studies. Some of the greatest musicians such as Daniel Barenboim, Jörg Widmann and Giya Kancheli named him to be one of the most exceptionally gifted musicians of the century. His ‘Sonata for Violin and Piano’ (2021) was premiered by Lisa Batiashvili and himself at this year’s Tsinandali Festival 2021.

During season 23/24 Tsotne performs in solo recital at the Amare den Haag, Bozar in Brussels, Lucerne Festival with Lisa Batiashvili and together with both Batiashvili and Jörg Widmann at Schloss Elmau and as part of their residencies at the Berliner Philharmoniker. He debuts in Japan in two recitals in Osaka and Tokyo and with the Bayerisches Landesjugendorchester under Sir Simon Rattle playing Schönberg’s Piano Concerto.
