Ingrid Fliter makes her debut with the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra on 2 February, playing Beethoven Piano Concerto No3 with Juanjo Mena in a celebratory inauguration concert for the concert hall’s new Steinway piano.

Fliter will then bring the same concerto to the UK for a performance with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Edward Gardner on 9 February. Beethoven has been a focus for Ingrid Fliter this season, following the release of her EMI Beethoven Sonatas disc in May 2011 and subsequent launch at the International Piano Series at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall:

“Rather than dim the lights in the slow movement, Fliter turned them up: a restless quest for rest, perhaps, rather than a dreamy interlude. And the scorching finale felt like a mad scene worthy of opera. Three generous encores confirmed Fliter’s finesse: a glittering Schubert Impromptu, and a Chopin waltz and nocturne. We definitely left happy.”
Neil Fischer, The Times

“Unfazed by technical demands, talented pianist Ingrid Fliter takes on Beethoven and wins with exhilarating and powerful performances...”
Hugh Canning, Sunday Times
