There is no one better to perform the music of Rachmaninov than Boris Giltburg: ‘His originality stems from a convergence of heart and mind, immaculate technique, and a deep and abiding love for one the twentieth century’s greatest composer-pianists.’ (Gramophone)
‘With rapid, sleight-of-hand flicks between calm assurance and demonic agitation, Boris Giltburg turned in a coherent and epic recital [that won’t be surpassed in 2024]’ (The Arts Desk)

more about Cambridge Music Festival
In a city buzzing with live music, CMF explores the best the classical world has to offer and presents it to the people of Cambridge.
We book artists whose touring schedule usually misses out smaller cities, and we select intriguing repertoire that tells a story: from Mozart masses to14th-century middle eastern music; and from Shostakovich quartets to new commissions for percussion. We invite a wide range of international musicians and ensembles for intimate recitals, chamber concerts and larger events with dozens of performers on stage. We’re the only classical promoter in the city to offer this variety and high standard on a regular basis.
CMF has undergone different models since its foundation in 1991, and is now run as a twice-annual series presenting classical music in bold, imaginative and inspiring ways.
