Schaghajegh Nosrati

Schaghajegh Nosrati, born in Bochum in 1989, is an extremely versatile musician and was able to establish herself as a concert pianist early on thanks to her outstanding reputation as a Bach interpreter.
Her international breakthrough came with her success as a prizewinner at the 2014 Leipzig Bach Competition, but above all through her increasing musical collaboration with Sir András Schiff, who praised the “astonishing clarity, purity and maturity” of her Bach playing and her associated understanding of music.
In recent years, the pianist has performed at many renowned venues, including the Essen Philharmonie (as part of the Ruhr Piano Festival, standing in for Daniel Barenboim), at the Palais des Beaux Arts Brussels (Bozar), the Lucerne Festival, the Tonhalle Zurich, the Vancouver Playhouse, the Kennedy Center Washington, Palau de la Música Catalana Barcelona, the Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall London and Carnegie Hall in New York. In the 2022/23 season, Schaghajegh Nosrati was “Artist in Residence” at the Beethovenhaus Bonn and soloist with the Beethovenorchester Bonn.
The pianist accepted invitations from the Bochum Symphony Orchestra to perform at the Anneliese Brost Forum. At the Bach Montréal Festival, she performed with the festival orchestra under the direction of Reinhard Goebel, and she also made her highly successful debut with the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra with Mozart‘s Piano Concerto K. 467 at the Bremen Glocke.
She made her debut at the Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin in 2019, standing in for Radu Lupu, who was ill at the time. She was invited back in 2022, this time to perform “Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Book 1” by J.S. Bach, which Schaghajegh Nosrati had recorded the previous year in the same hall and as part of a CD production (CAvI Music).
