Beethoven and Nielson

This is no ordinary recital program, but Peter Serkin is no ordinary concert pianist!

“Peter Serkin is one of the most perceptive and provocative pianists of his generation…” – American Record Guide

He is a passionate thinker, a spirited individualist – ‘striking that magical balance between intellect and heart’. And, like his father Rudolf, he’s revered as a musician’s musician.

Enjoy a recital where his commanding technique shines in a beautiful program with Renaissance music, Nielsen’s Theme with Variations and the powerful and original piano sonata by Beethoven.
