Grigory Sokolov belongs to that rare group of artists whose concerts are far more than mere performances: they become musical events of exceptional intensity. Each appearance forms its own universe, shaped by absolute concentration, profound tonal depth, and an uncompromising devotion to music.

Sokolov’s playing resists fashionable interpretations and superficial effects. Instead, it opens a musical space in which time, form, and sound can be experienced anew. His concerts follow no routine — they are created in the moment and, for that very reason, remain unmistakably unique.
That the programme traditionally remains secret until the very last moment is an integral part of this artistic principle: the audience encounters the music without preconceptions, open to a singular experience that exists only on that evening.
On 2 December, Grigory Sokolov returns to Bonn as part of the East-West-Festival of Rostislav Krimer — an extraordinary concert event at the recently renovated Beethovenhalle, resonating far beyond the region.
