The Elisabeth Brauss has been praised by Gramophone Magazine for “the maturity and sophistication of her thoughtful interpretations” which “would be the pride of any pianist twice her age”. Born in Hannover in 1995, Elisabeth is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting and versatile musicians of her generation.

Elisabeth Brauss

As a former member of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme, Elisabeth continues to appear regularly with solo, chamber and concerto engagements across the UK. In 2021 she made her debut at the BBC Proms, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23 with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. In a new partnership between this scheme and The Hallé, she was awarded the Terence Judd-Hallé Award, given to an NGA graduate considered to be on the cusp of a major international career.

During the 2022/23 season, Elisabeth was Artist in Residence at Edesche Concertzaal, performing both solo and chamber concerts. Elisabeth also collaborates with the composer Max Richter, and has appeared in his Reflektor Festival at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Elisabeth’s most recent recording, of the Bacewicz Double Concerto with Finnish Radio Symphony/Nicholas Collon and Peter Jablonski, was awarded 5* and Concerto of the Month by BBC Music Magazine. This season Elisabeth appears with orchestras including Bournemouth Symphony, Staatsorchester Darmstadt & Gottinger Symphonieorchester.

Acclaimed for the maturity and sophistication of her performances as well as her versatility, the brilliant German pianist Elisabeth Brauss makes her debut at Bourgie Hall with a program that mingles melancholy, joy, and celebration. The concert features works by Beethoven’s Les Adieux, Robert Schumann’s Carnival Scenes from Vienna, and pieces by Bach and Prokofiev.
