The renowned Israeli pianist, Giltburg, captivated audiences with a diverse repertoire, performing a total of 15 celebrated compositions by renowned artists such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, and Stravinsky.

These include the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Carnegie Hall, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Wiener Konzerthaus, and the Southbank Centre, among others.
