# Event Details - **Event Name**: Concert Pianist Nikolai returns to Featherston on June 13 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 am – Sat, 13 Jun, 2026 at 07:15 am (+12:00) - **Event Description**: A VERY SPECIAL PIANIST RETURNS TO NEW ZEALAND: MULLED WINE CONCERTS PRESENTS NIKOLAI SARATOVSKY Nikolai Saratovsky is an internationally acclaimed Russian concert pianist with an extraordinary repertoire. Mary Gow, organiser of the Mulled Wine Concerts series discovered Saratovsky in 2018 when he played in Brussels as a young pianist after succeeding in several important piano competitions in Europe. "I was amazed by his virtuosity" says Gow, a concert pianist herself, "He not only had a love for the music, he had all the technical skill-set you need to express yourself fully on the piano". She told him she came from New Zealand and he then told her that he and his Japanese-born wife had always dreamed of visiting New Zealand! As Gow notes, "from there, it was a short step to discussing possibilities..." His effect on audiences here was remarkable - everyone who heard him knew that they were seeing and hearing something special. Since then, audiences around the world have come to the same conclusion. Saratovsky is now a professor of piano at the huge music school of Taiwan University where he combines teaching and academic research with his performing career, appearing in major concert venues worldwide. He also gives master-classes for aspiring international concert pianists. Nikolai himself says this of his visits here: "This will be already the fifth time I am coming to NZ, and every time I feel extremely happy to come. I have lived and worked in Taiwan for more than 6 years. I have many memories from NZ. New Zealand is very different from Taiwan, and for me it's very important to "charge my inner spiritual battery". Coming to New Zealand is the ideal choice. Combination of meeting my lovely friends, conversations beside the fire place, fantastic sunsets, and music making makes this trip truly remarkable" He has chosen a wonderful set of music for his recital: "I chose this program by myself, because at this moment of life I prefer to play something that gives me a positive energy. I feel very compassionate with these music works, and they help me to recover during difficult times. I am happy to share this beautiful music with the audience, and I am looking forward for this fascinating musical journey". The concert will start with Western European romantic composers and conclude with pieces by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. Mary Gow feels that his visit to New Zealand represents a wonderful opportunity for Wairarapa audiences to catch a star already well known in Europe, Russia and the Far East. "This concert I regard as one of the most important and for the North Island, not-to-be-missed!" Mulled Wine Concerts will sponsor his appearance at the ANZAC Hall in Featherston on Saturday 13 June 2026. ============================== Mulled Wine Concerts presents a piano recital by Nikolai Saratovsky at 4:00 PM on Saturday 13 June, 2026 at the ANZAC Hall, 1 Bell St., Featherston.
