Xi Zhai / Piano Recital

• Classical Music

Following his successful Elbphilharmonie debut in September 2023, Chinese pianist Xi Zhai returns to the Recital Hall with an exquisite piano recital.



Xi Zhai is an up-and-coming star at the beginning of a great career. The pianist, who trained in Shanghai and Frankfurt, has won numerous prizes at international competitions and performs regularly in concert halls in both Germany and China. His playing is characterised by a deeply felt musicality, paired with an extraordinary touch and a superior technique, which never becomes an end in itself, but serves entirely to explore the musical content.

On this evening, Xi Zhai presents a particularly demanding programme with works by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann – a fusion of the highest virtuosity and intense expression.
