Recital Programmes
1. Phœnix
Rachmaninov, Chopin, Mozart, Scriabin, Stravinsky
Latest Recital Programme, available till July 2026
Phœnix is an ascension towards the light unfolding in the path of life. Can fragility become a strength, like a phœnix rising from its ashes, transforming vulnerability into a powerful rebirth? This vibrant programme by Irina Lankova, combining virtuosity and poetry, is a personal musical journey through the works of Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Mozart and Stravinsky.
2. Trilogy
Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Chopin
New Recital Programme, available for 2026/27 season only
Trilogy is the quintessence of Lankova’s three latest albums: Elegy, A Moment Illuminating Eternity, and Phœnix. It is a journey that transcends darkness to reach hope, light, and joy. In this personal quest, it became essential for her to bring together the key pieces from these three albums into a unique emotional arc for a concert programme. Through this powerful musical narrative, she seeks to offer the audience a profound and luminous experience.

3. A Better World
Rachmaninov & Schubert
Upcoming Recital Programme available from January 2027
"You have carried me into a better world," writes Schubert in An die Musik, embracing music as a force that lifts us gently beyond the confines of the everyday. It is this sense of elevation, of humanity, beauty, and hope that has inspired the spirit of my new programme. It is an invitation to step into an emotional space where tenderness, warmth and grace open a renewed connection to our own inner light.

4. Goldberg Variations
Permanent Recital Programme
The Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach have been accompanying me for many years, and they continue to fascinate me. I particularly enjoy performing them in recitals, creating a unique atmosphere each time and sharing this magic with my audience.
This enduring connection has also inspired several projects, including Goldberg Conversation, which explores the dialogue between piano and organ, and Goldberg Visions (https://www.irinalankova.com/goldberg-visions), a dialogue between piano and visual art.

Narrated Concerts by irina lankova

Piano Unveiled is not an ordinary concert. It is a concept of unconventional, personal, and inclusive experience, a narrated journey into the classical music world and the art of piano playing.
Passionate about her art and willing to communicate more with her audience, Irina Lankova started her narrated concerts Piano Unveiled in 2016.
By making short introductions with some fascinating keys to listening, personal comments, historical links, and parallels with other forms of art, Irina Lankova makes the classical concert even more exciting and interesting but also more relaxed and accessible for wider audiences.
