Víkingur Ólafsson

Following his sold-out, critically acclaimed debut in 2024, Víkingur Ólafsson makes his long-awaited return to Melbourne Recital Centre. Audiences and critics alike were captivated the first time around. Of his 2024 Australian tour, The Age wrote ‘Ólafsson left the at-capacity audience in awe of his technical brilliance and his stamina.’

For these majestic and meditative evenings, one of the finest pianists on the planet weaves together music of three musical revolutionaries. The hypnotic, pulsing minimalism of Philip Glass sits beside Debussy's shimmering impressionism and Rameau's witty, ornamented Baroque dances, each era illuminating the next.

With over a billion streams and a Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo to his name, the Ólafsson phenomenon is one not to be missed.
