Born in Bochum in 1989, Schaghajegh Nosrati is highly regarded as a versatile musician. Due to her outstanding reputation as an interpreter of Bach’s music, she was able to establish herself as a concert pianist at a young age. 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 “astounding clarity, purity, and maturity” of her musical approach, particularly reflected in her renditions of Bach.
In recent years, the pianist has performed at many renowned venues, including a solo recital at the Essen Philharmonie (as part of the Ruhr Piano Festival, standing in for Daniel Barenboim), at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels (Bozar), the Lucerne Festival, the Tonhalle Zürich, the Vancouver Playhouse, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, the Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall in London, the Montreal International Bach Festival, Koerner Hall in Toronto, the Royal Albert Hall / BBC Proms, 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 Bonn Beethoven Orchestra.
Nosrati accepted invitations from the Bochum Symphony Orchestra to perform at the Anneliese Brost Forum. At the Montreal International Bach Festival, she performed with the festival orchestra under the direction of Reinhard Goebel, and she also made her highly successful début with the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra with Mozart’s Piano Concerto K. 467 at the Bremen Glocke.
She gave her debut performance at the Pierre Boulez Hall in Berlin in 2019, standing in for Radu Lupu, who was ill at the time. Further performances at the Boulez Hall followed in 2022, 2024, and 2025, including complete performances of the 1st Volume of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier and the Six Partitas.
