Mikhail Pletnetov (1958) is called one of the most unusual musicians of today, because his career as a pianist, conductor and composer has been equally successful in his professional life. Listeners and colleagues have always been impressed by Pletnetov’s impeccable technique, sense of fine style and freshness of interpretations.

“Mikhail Pletnetov plays every piece as his own, his interpretations are staggering – I wonder if a pianist could do something like that,” wrote BBC Music Magazine. In 2006, Mihails Pļetņevs won the prestigious “Grammy” award, for which he was nominated several times. He has also received annual awards from Gramophone and The New Yorker – he is currently one of the most influential artists in Russia, but still calls himself simply a musician.

The concert program will feature two of the piano personalities created by last year’s anniversary Ludwig van Beethoven (No. 1 and No. 32), as well as Peter Tchaikovsky’s twelfth piano cycle “Seasons”, in which each part is dedicated to one of the months of the year and its characteristic moods.

Instead of the pianist’s concert, a concert of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra was previously planned, which was canceled last week due to restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Ticket holders who had managed to buy tickets to the orchestra’s concert are invited to return them at any “Biļešu paradīze” box office throughout Latvia or exchange them for Mikhail Pļetņeva’s solo concert tickets. For buyers who have purchased tickets online, the money is automatically returned to the bank account. Concert tickets for the St. Petersburg Orchestra will not be valid for a solo concert by pianist M. Pletnetov. The organizers of the concert apologize to the buyers for the inconvenience and hope for the understanding of the visitors during this unusual time.

The concert is organized by the Uniting History Foundation – a charity founded in 2019, which is active in the field of cultural development, preservation of Latvia’s historical heritage and reduction of social inequality.
