Claire Huangci performs Chopin

Fri. 20 February 2026 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

The American pianist of Chinese origin, Claire Huangci was found at the center of international interest when awarded the 1st prize at the Zurich Geza Anda contest in 2018 - to be added to many more important awards that she started to receive when she was still a child. Since that moment, the pianist is having one of the most active and successful soloist careers of our times. For her debut in Athens, she chose to take on Chopin's Concert No. 1, a work of enormous lyricism, but also requiring pianist mastery! It's with particular emotion that the Athens State Orchestra receives for the first time the distinct Georgian lead musician, Vakhtang Kahidze, son of the late conductor Jansug Kahidze, who for several consecutive years was found at the Orchestra podium, leading it in some of its most beautiful concerts of its long story...
