Boris Giltburg is currently one of the most prominent pianists of his generation, known for his technical prowess and depth of interpretation. Born in 1984 in Moscow, he soon moved with his family to Israel. Many see him as a pianist who constantly seeks new ways to understand and experience musical works. His personal approach to music is based on a profound understanding of the pieces he plays and the ability to communicate their emotional depth to the audience. For his festival premiere, he has assembled a program inspired by literature and will include music by Bedřich Smetana in his repertoire for the first time.
