As is customary with the legendary pianist Grigory Sokolov, his concert programme is announced only a few weeks before the performance. We are therefore all the more delighted to reveal a truly extraordinary programme for his upcoming recital on 2 December 2026 at the Beethovenhalle Bonn, presented by Rostislav Krimer’s East-West-Festival.
Two monumental masterpieces of the piano repertoire in a single evening – a programme that every classical music lover could only dream of!

And there is more to look forward to: on 4 April 2027, the great Arcadi Volodos will perform at the Beethovenhalle, continuing our series of extraordinary piano recitals.
We warmly invite you to join us for both unforgettable evenings!
