Event Description
Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes returns to Davies Symphony Hall for a solo recital opening with Leoš Janáček’s Piano Sonata 1.X.1905, written as a tribute to a worker slain during demonstrations in 1905. Andsnes follows with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A-flat major, Opus 110, a late-in-life landmark. The evening ends with Antonín Dvořák’s Poetic Tone Pictures, which conjures emotions and impressions from the thoughtful “Nocturnal Route,” and the affectionate “Serenade,” to the dancing “Furiant,” and “Spring Song.”
