Biography

Fatjona Maliqi

has established herself as a soloist with a predilection for particularly demanding programmes which she
performs "with intensity and refinement" (Piano News). She has recently gained particular recognition for her performances of Bach's Goldberg Variations, which she
plays "as if everything was very easy" (Bonner Generalanzeiger). 

Her interpretation of the variations was awarded in the finals of the 7th International Rosalyn Tureck Bach Competition in New York. Her recent Asian debut at the German consulate in Karachi (Pakistan) received an enthusiastic response, the nationwide Newspaper "Dawn" praising the "delightful combination of heart and mind" which characterizes her Bach-performance.

The pianist from Kosovo, who already won numerous prizes at a young age, can be heard regularly as a soloist in piano concertos by Beethoven, Chopin, Grieg, Rachmaninoff, Saint-Saens, Gershwin and Shostakovich and as a chamber musician in various ensembles, in addition to international solo recitals. 

As a chamber musician, she was awarded first prize in the University competition at Münster University of
Music, where she has been studying in the renowned class of Prof. Heribert Koch.
 

In the anniversary year 2020, she was invited to play Beethoven's greatest piano work, the Diabelli Variations
op. 120, in the framework of the 42nd International EPTA Conference (European Piano Teachers Association). Further appearances included the summer festival of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe in London and the Gesellschaft für Musiktheater in Vienna. 

In a live recording in the prestigious "WDR3 Campus Concerts" series, which features the best students from German music Universities, she performed the monumental work on a historic grand
piano by Conrad Graf (Beetz Collection), who also built Beethoven's last instrument. Recently she was again
selected to perform in the "WDR3 Campus Concerts", now with her duet partner, cellist Nicklas Erpenbach.

Being inspired by Fatjona's performances, the renowned German composer Ulrich Schultheiss dedicated her
the piano work "Escapade" which reflects Chopin's prelude in C minor.
