We are once again delighted to welcome this very fine Georgian pianist to Hinchingbrooke.

She has twice proved her worth here by the powerful uncompromising conviction in her

playing, her exceptional pianistic and artistic finesse and musicianly eloquence. A multi

engagements around the world. She plans a programme to include music by Mozart, Chopin and Ravel.
