Born in Georgia in 2001, David Khrikuli has become one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation. The 2026/27 season takes him to some eighty concerts in more than thirty countries, a trajectory that gives the measure of the interest his playing arouses: technical brilliance in the service of an uncommon interpretative depth, and a sense of sound that is immediately recognizable.

He was a finalist at the 2025 International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition, where his performances captivated the jury and public alike and drew praise that went well beyond the results themselves. He also won First Prize at the Cantù International Piano and Orchestra Competition (Italy, 2024) and First Prize together with the Audience Prize at the Vigo International Piano Competition, as well as First Prize and the Special Prize at Aarhus.

Khrikuli trained in Tbilisi with Revaz Tavadze and then, over a decade, with Galina Eguiazarova and Stanislav Ioudenitch at the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid, where he held the Fundación Banco Santander Piano Chair and received from Her Majesty Queen Sofía the Diploma for the Most Outstanding Student of his chair. David Khrikuli Plays Chopin: 24 Preludes & 4 Scherzi comprises his first album.

With an expressive sound, a technique of exceptional refinement and an artistic maturity beyond his years, David Khrikuli is establishing himself as one of the most singular voices in piano playing today.
