— Pianistisk stjerneskudd fra Jordan.
International Piano Magazine omtaler ham som ‘One to Watch’, og albumet Khachaturian: Piano Works ble beskrevet av BBC Music Magazine som “An outstanding debut”. Tidligere i år har han turnert over store deler av USA og England. Nå gjør jordansk-palestinske Iyad Sughayer sin aller første opptreden i Norge — hos oss.
“Exhilarating and delivered with perfect clarity”
— Gramophone (UK) om Sughayers debutalbum
Som om ikke toppscore i britisk presse er nok, ble han nylig valgt ut som Classic FMs ‘Rising Star’, der han de siste årene også har mottatt stor anerkjennelse for sine tolkninger av Mozart og Sibelius. Denne søndagen presenterer han et solid utvalg av sine favorittverker av både Khatsjaturjan og sistnevnte. Her blir det mye å glede seg til — velkommen!

Nominated as a 2022 ‘Rising Star’ by Classic FM, Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer was a prize-winner at the Young Classical Artists Trust international auditions in 2022, and has developed an exciting career as both a soloist and chamber musician.
Iyad’s debut album Khachaturian Piano Works for BIS Records was described as “an outstanding debut” by BBC Music Magazine, and his second recording for BIS with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Andrew Litton, was released to critical acclaim in autumn 2022.
Iyad has also performed extensively in recital throughout the UK and Europe, performing at important venues such as the Berlin Konzerthaus, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg and Festival Musique D’Abord in France. He has also undertaken a series of recitals at the Leicester International Music Festival performing the complete Mozart Piano Sonatas alongside newly commissioned pieces inspired by those great works.
As a concerto soloist Iyad has appeared with leading orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, European Union Chamber Orchestra, the Cairo and Amman Symphony Orchestras.
During the 2024—25 season Iyad will make his debut in Bogota in Colombia, as well as undertaking his first professional tour of North America.
In 2022 Iyad co-founded and launched a new specialist music school, the Mashrek Academy of Music in Amman. The Academy welcomes students from across Jordan, discovering and nurturing a new generation of creators and musicians.
