Overview

Young artists often show promise, but rarely do they emerge as major talents as quickly and fully as American pianist Jonathan Biss. He is noted, in particular, for his intriguing programs and musical intelligence, qualities on full display in the program he brings to Berkeley. Performing both classic masterworks—including Beethoven's immortal Moonlight Sonata—and exciting new music, Biss clearly shows why the Toronto Globe and Mail calls him "one of the most striking North American pianists of the new generation.

Program: Beethoven: Sonata in C minor, Op. 10, No. 1 • Sonata in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2 (Moonlight) • Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 81a (Les Adieux) • Janáček: In the Mists • David Ludwig: Lunaire Variations
