Grigori Sokolov is one of the most revered pianists of our time, known for his deeply contemplative recital programs and a signature ritual of six encores. Born on April 18, 1950, in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Sokolov rose to prominence after winning gold at the 1966 International Tchaikovsky Competition at age 16. His career has since spanned decades of live performance across the world, with a focus on live artistry over studio recording. In 2022, he became a naturalized Spanish citizen, adding a new chapter to his storied life in music. Here you’ll find a detailed biography, key discography highlights, and up-to-date information on his 2025 tour, including confirmed engagements in Berlin, Mannheim, Monaco, Geneva, Salzburg, Kiel, Cologne, and Stockholm.
