Nino Gvetadze & Prinses Christina Concours
The Georgian pianist and Artist in Residence Nino Gvetadze won both the second prize, the press prize and the prize awarded by the public at the prestigious Franz List Concours. During the Three-Day Music Festival she’ll be working on music by Russian composers with award winners in the Prinses Christina Concours, the competition that endeavours to prepare young musicians for a potentially big future by means of concerts and master classes specially organised for them. Nina Gvetadze has been living in the Netherlands since 2007. She studied at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague as well as at the Amsterdam Conservatorium but the lion’s share of her study was in her home country of Georgia.
A Georgian pianist giving a master class in playing Russian composers is not so surprising. Of course you don’t have to be Russian to convey that intangible concept of the Russian soul in an interpretation of the music of Rachmaninov and Glinka. All good musicians delve into depths of the music they play and Gvetadze’s master class is about getting across exactly what is behind the Russian notes and therefore how to convey what the composer, whether or not he had a Russian soul, wanted to say.
