Melbourne Recital Centre: Víkingur Ólafsson & Consortium
25 March @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT
One of the world’s most exciting and must-see pianists of the moment.
Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson is internationally lauded as ‘a pianist of rare technical brilliance and interpretive depth’ (The New York Times). He epitomises both virtuoso and storyteller with a magnetism that enraptures audiences across the world.
Under Ólafsson’s distinctive musicality and interpretations, the piano becomes a portal, where each keystroke weaves intricate musical narratives that meld classical tradition with contemporary innovation and exploration. Whether he is playing Bach, Debussy, or Philip Glass, Ólafsson enters an insightful state of immersion, connecting deeply with every note, emotion, and nuance in a must-see visceral concert experience.
This is a Dynamic Double Set experience: a musical matching of artists designed to enhance your concert experience.
