Ivana Gavrić’s playing has been described as “altogether of an extraordinary calibre” (BBC Music Magazine) and “notable for its beautiful sound, musical integrity and introspection” (The Independent). She has attracted considerable praise for her interpretations of Janáček, Liszt, Schubert, and more recently Grieg, the Washington Post describing her playing as “impressive, insightful…ravishing”. The British pianist, born in Sarajevo, has been a soloist with the Philharmonia, RPO, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Aurora Orchestra, Trondheim Soloists and Southbank Sinfonia, and has collaborated with conductors including Rafael Payare, Nicholas Collon, Christian Kluxen, Karin Hendrickson and Ben Gernon. Ivana has also been heard on concert platforms at The Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, the Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, the Berlin Konzerthaus, KKL Lucerne, Gilmore Festival, as well as across China and in Canada. She created a sensation with her debut album In the mists, winning BBC Music Magazine Newcomer of the Year. Her recording of Grieg was selected as Gramophone Editor’s Choice and the Grieg Society’s Recording of the Year. Over the last decade Ivana has worked closely with composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad, and her new concerto Between the Skies, the River and the Hills, written for Ivana, was released on Rubicon Classics.
