The Spirit of Beethoven with Simone Alessandro Tavoni
Tuesday 20 April 2027, 7:30-9:30pm (doors open at 7pm), Leighton House
This recital celebrates the enduring spirit of Beethoven through four remarkable stages of his piano writing. From the mysterious intimacy of the Moonlight Sonata and the heroic energy of the Eroica Variations to the distilled poetry of the Six Bagatelles and the profound vision of Op. 111, the programme traces Beethoven’s extraordinary journey from the Classical tradition towards a new and deeply personal musical language. Presented in commemoration of the bicentenary of Beethoven’s death, the recital reflects not only the diversity of his genius, but the enduring power, humanity and universality of his music.
