Tsotne Zedginidze enjoys international recognition as a pianist and composer of exceptional talent. Born into a family of musicians, he received piano lessons from his grandmother from the age of five until today. He began composing at the age of six. In 2019, Tsotne gave his first public concert with the Georgian National Philharmonic Orchestra.
"Phenomenal musicians like Tsotne are born once a century," says composer Giya Kancheli. Tsotne has already performed in Europe and Japan, in large halls and festivals, where he has appeared as a pianist and composer, e.g. in his Sonata for Violin and Piano with Lisa Batiashvili. It brought him together with Daniel Barenboim, Jörg Widmann, Simon Rattle, who invited him several times as a soloist, Alfred Brendel and Antonio Pappano, among others. His first symphony was premiered in Salzburg at the beginning of 2025.
Tsotne Zedginidze will also play Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 at the Klassik-Highlights on October 23.
