About
A multifaceted musician whose repertoire encompasses performances on both modern and historical keyboards, Nicolas Margarit has quickly established himself as one the most singular artists of his generation.
"A wonderful musician who deliberately eschews ostentation."
He regularly performs as a soloist and chamber musician in venues and concert series throughout Europe. Recent appearances at festivals include the Marvão International Music Festival, Schubertíada Vilabertran, Festival de Música Antigua de Úbeda y Baeza, Cataluña’s Hammerklavier Festival, and the Festival Pianino in Valldemossa. Additionally, he is the leader and artistic director of Ad Sonum, a newly founded early music ensemble based in Madrid.
His musical philosophy is primarily guided by a blend of modern sensibilities with the interpretative freedom and expressive means of the past. A love for improvisation and spontaneous music-making is coupled with deep research and musicological investigation, resulting in a primary emphasis on intuition and spontaneity. A new critical edition of Bach’s Goldberg Variations is forthcoming, which is based on the most complete evaluation of textual sources thus far.
"This pianist is one to watch out for, no doubt about it."
He is additionally skilled as an arranger, frequently performing his own transcriptions both for solo piano and chamber ensembles. Upcoming solo programmes include a solo piano transcription of F. Schubert’s Fantasia in f minor D 940.
Born in Brisbane, Australia, Nicolas Margarit began his musical studies at the age of three. He moved to Spain in 2017 to study with Dmitri Bashkirov at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. Since then he has additionally received instruction from musicians such as Andreas Staier, András Schiff, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard.
"Nicolas Margarit definitively belongs
to the most talented, most musical, and
most advanced artists of his generation."
