A memorable evening of music unfolded at the Rainier III Auditorium as renowned pianist Elisabeth Leonskaya delivered a powerful recital on April 29…

Often described as one of the last great representatives of the Soviet piano tradition, she offered a programme that spanned eras and styles, featuring works by Mozart, Schoenberg, Shostakovich and Schubert.

Leonskaya guided the audience through a carefully curated repertoire, blending classical clarity with the emotional depth of 20th-century compositions. Her interpretation reflected a deeply personal connection to the music, shaped by her artistic roots and lifelong dedication to the piano. Moving seamlessly between contrasting styles, she demonstrated both technical mastery and profound musical sensitivity.

The recital formed part of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra’s wider programme, continuing a season marked by high-level performances. Music lovers in the Principality can now look ahead to the orchestra’s next concert, scheduled for May 3, featuring works by Dukas, Grieg and Tchaikovsky.

The evening reaffirmed Monaco’s position as a key destination for world-class classical music, with Leonskaya’s performance leaving a lasting impression on all in attendance.
