Valentina Lisitsa

From YouTube to the concert hall, Valentina Lisitsa's journey has been a remarkable one. But, now that she's fully in the classical club (multiple Decca releases and sell-out concerts), it's time for her to prove that she's up to scratch at The Bristol Proms.

The Ukrainian pianist is one of the most exciting talents in the classical world and guaranteed to deliver a passionate performance no matter the material. As her most recent Decca release (of Michael Nyman works) attests, she is really hitting her professional stride - this concert will be a rare chance to see her in full flow.

Lisitsa will be performing works from her new album of Nyman pieces, as well as Liszt arrangements of Schubert songs.

Part of #BristolProms. Last year's inaugural Bristol Proms - exploring the creative possibilities of digital technology and encouraging the audience to relax and participate - struck a new path towards the future of classical concerts.
