Luton Music Club Beethoven Piano 1

About

We begin the second half of our season with the launch of our survey of all 32 piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven. This epic adventure is a wonderfully ambitious venture for us here in Luton. Spread over some 12 concerts, with a range of internationally admired pianists, this will be an unforgettable musical experience. Frenchman Patrick Hemmerlé opens the series with the early F major sonata followed by the sparkling virtuosity of the legendary Waldstein. He also offers youthful sonatas by Tippett and Ian Venables, this last a contemporary British composer whose work has been much enjoyed by our audiences in Luton over the past few years.
