Schaghajegh Nosrati: Pierre Boulez Saal

About the Event

Explore the beauty of piano music at Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, where Bach's masterwork come to life in this incredible performance.

In just a few years, Shagadjeg Nosrati established himself as a promising Bach interpreter, recording highly acclaimed works such as 'Art of the Fugue' and the Piano Partitas. 'I am not a religious person, but in Bach's music I feel a connection, a greater meaning,' explains the young pianist, who has been teaching at the Barenboim‐Said Academy for two years as assistant to her former teacher Sir Andras Schiff. In his solo recital, she will interpret the first movement of the Well‐Tempered Clavier.

Pierre Boulez Saal

The Pierre Boulez Hall is the hall of the Barenboim‐Said Academy. Designed by Frank O. Geary, the hall opened in March 2017 in Berlin, Germany. The hall was named in tribute to French conductor and composer Pierre Boulez, a name suggested by the Argentinian‐Israeli pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim. Despite being essentially a chamber venue, the structure has a cuboid shape that can accommodate medium‐sized orchestras, and up to 682 visitors. Architect and musicians alike seek to offer a 360 degree perspective on music, combining styles, cultures and viewpoints in the space.
