Georgy Tchaidze possesses “fine sensibility and perfectly honed technique” according to The Telegraph in its review of the Russian pianist’s Wigmore Hall debut. Since becoming Honens Prize Laureate in 2009, Georgy has performed throughout Europe and North America to great acclaim, including debuts at Berlin’s Konzerthaus, Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, Amsterdam’s Het Concertgebouw, National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, Oriental Arts Centre in Shanghai, and Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York.  His many festival appearances include Canada’s Toronto Summer Music and Ottawa International Chamber Music, France’s Piano aux Jacobins, Germany’s Kissinger Sommer, and Switzerland’s Verbier festivals. He was invited several times to perform at Norway’s Lofoten Piano Festival, most recently stepping in for Sir Andras Schiff.

Tchaidze’s performance of Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto with Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra with Pinchas Zukerman was met with praise: “commendable clarity … unusually powerful for a performance of so little ostentation” (Ottawa Citizen). He was also invited to perform for the Governor General of Canada at the special invitation of The Glenn Gould Foundation.

Tchaidze’s reputation as a sensitive collaborative pianist is blossoming. He toured extensively with Canada’s Cecilia String Quartet and performed with the esteemed Borodin Quartet. The Calgary Herald wrote about his performance with the Borodin Quartet: “Tchaidze was magnificent … a performance of rare beauty and musical conviction.”

Tchaidze has three recordings on the Honens label: a live recording with Cecilia String Quartet, an all-Schubert album and a disc of works by Medtner, Mussorgsky, and Prokofiev. In 2015, he added First Prize at the Top of the World International Piano Competition in Tromso, Norway to his accolades.  This season, he performs in recital for the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts at Queen’s University, for Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, and returns to Wigmore Hall. Tchaidze lives in Berlin.
