SASKIA GIORGINI

Italian-Dutch pianist Saskia Giorgini, born in 1985, rose to international prominence after winning the Salzburg International Mozart Competition in 2016. Her 2021 PENTATONE release of Liszt's Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses earned a Diapason d'Or, with subsequent albums like 2024's Images (Debussy) also receiving critical acclaim. Giorgini's playing is lauded for its poetic depth, clarity, and a rich, singing tone that maintains fullness even in powerful passages. She brings a refined touch and emotional fervour to classical repertoire, creating an experience of profound musicality, perfectly suited for the Vancouver Playhouse.
