Event Details
Katia Skanavi’s prodigious gifts took her from her native Moscow at the age of 18 to traverse the globe. Excelling at numerous international competitions, she has since performed with many of the world’s pre-eminent musicians including Yuri Bashmet, Gidon Kremer and Kurt Masur, appeared with many of the world’s great orchestras and played in some of the world’s finest concert halls.
Skanavi relishes exploring composers in great depth including, most recently, Rakhmaninov and Chopin. On this, her premiere visit to Australia, she performs two of Chopin’s signature works alongside sonatas by Schubert and Carl Vine.
