Boris Giltburg Advocates for Youth Orchestras through Powerful Performance Triumphant musical evening met with “endless applause” for Giltburg in Berlin

Boris Giltburg Advocates for Youth Orchestras through Powerful Performance Triumphant musical evening met with “endless applause” for Giltburg in Berlin

Pianist Boris Giltburg has recently demonstrated his unwavering support for youth orchestras by participating in a short but impactful tour with the National Youth Orchestra of the Netherlands (NJO), which included performances in Apeldoorn, Amsterdam, and culminated in a remarkable concert in Berlin. Giltburg’s dedication to fostering young musical talent was evident during his interpretation of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 4, a piece that demands both technical brilliance and emotional depth. Indeed, the Berliner Morgenpost lauded Giltburg’s “warm, chocolaty tone”, reminiscent of the great Arthur Rubinstein (Mario-Felix Vogt).

The Berlin concert, part of the prestigious Young Euro Classic Festival, which celebrated its 25th anniversary, was met with what one critic described as “endless applause”. The effusive review particularly emphasised the value of intergenerational mentoring programmes: “If there was ever proof needed that collaboration between young orchestral talent and experienced conductors and star soloists makes sense, the performance… with pianist Boris Giltburg, could serve as the finest example… I am convinced that Giltburg inspired many of the young musicians with his nuanced, effortlessly light playing… to reflect on questions of expression and the interaction between piano and instruments” (Ingobert Waltenberger, Online Merker).

Watch the Berlin Concert online bellow and experience a unique opportunity to witness a masterful performance by Boris Giltburg and the next generation of classical musicians.
