Dominic Cheli on "An die Hoffnung": "I was particularly struck by the beauty of the melody in its simplicity, as well as the poignant message of hope Beethoven shares. I think these days, hope is something we all need"

Dominic Cheli/Rodolfo Leone/Paul Williamson - GET TICKETS
The three legendary Beethoven sonatas represent the diversity of his genius. An existential drama of the "Pathetique," watercolor poetry of the "Moonlight," and force of Nature of "Waldstein."

|
OCT 26 @ 7:30 PM
In this grouping, the monumental "Appassionata" stands out like a symphony, surrounded by the light-hearted, lyrical music of "Les Adieux" and "À Thérèse."
|
|
OCT 27 @ 3 PM
The romantic side of Beethoven appears to have conceived the two sonatas of this group, intimate and song-like as per the composer's own directions. Hammerkaliver looms as the titan of exploration of what the modern piano of the day could do. To this day, it is considered mount Everest of piano playing.
|
|
OCT 28 @ 7:30 PM
The final three sonatas are sublime contemplation of the human condition, from the peaceful lyricism of op.109 to the otherworldly ascension to heaven of op.111. The entire human life span is traced by heart-wrenching op.110. To hear this music live is, indeed, a transcendental experience.
