Georgy Osokin, the youngest member of the Osokin dynasty of pianists, gained international recognition in 2015 when he participated in the International Chopin Competition at the age of just 19. Even before the finals, Georgy Osokin had already received invitations to perform at the prestigious Chopin and His Europe Festival in Warsaw and to make his first tour of Japan. He has given concerts with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, the Metropolitan Theatre in Tokyo, and has performed in Switzerland, Germany, the USA, etc. Since 2018, Georgy has been collaborating with Gidon Kremer and, alongside Lika Debargas, is the first pianist to become a permanent guest artist in Kremerata Baltica's 22-year history. In May 2019, Piano Classics released the second Georgy Osokin suite with opuses by Sergei Rachmaninoff, for which the pianist has received excellent reviews from Pizzicato, Gramophone, France Musique, Radio Denmark and others. In 2016, Georgy Osokin was also awarded the Great Music Prize in the category "Young Artist of the Year", while in 2021 he received the LMB in the category "For Outstanding Interpretation". Whenever possible, Georgy tries to perform also in Latvia, and on 7 September there will be a truly exclusive opportunity to enjoy his only solo concert on the banks of the Lielupe River, at the Little Mezotne Palace.
