Seong-Jin Cho cancels

Seong-Jin Cho is recovering from a minor injury and has been asked by his doctors to take a few weeks rest. This has caused him to cancel his recital in Stockholm on March 17th. 

Italian pianist Federico Colli (born in 1988) replaces. Colli will also replace Radu Lupu (cancellation due to illnes) and perform Mozart's Piano Concerto No 23 with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra 13 and 14 March.

Federico Colli came to prominence after winning the Salzburg Mozart Competition in 2011 and the Gold Medal at The Leeds International Piano Competition in 2012. By now, Colli has recorded praised CDs (Chandos label), performed at many of the foremost theatres around the world, as well as with the best orchestras and conductors (including Sakari Oramo). The magazine Gramophone wrote: “There’s no doubt that Federico Colli is one of the more original thinkers of his generation.”

The new recital programme will be announced shortly.
