Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech continues their 2021 Spring HomeStage Series with a virtual concert from pianist Sir Andras Schiff on Thursday, April 1, 2021.

Sir András Schiff is not only one of music’s most revered pianists, he’s one of its greatest interpreters and your guide for a journey through remarkable sonatas by Bach, Beethoven, and Schumann. Get up close with the musical master and see him play every note in this superb multi-camera stream recently recorded in front of a live audience in St. Peter's Church in Zurich, Switzerland.

The evening recital will include Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue in D minor, BWV 903, and Capriccio on the Departure of his Beloved Brother, BWV 992; Beethoven’s Piano Sonata no. 17 in D minor, op. 31 no. 2, Tempest, and Piano Sonata no. 26 in E-flat major, op. 81a, Les Adieux; and Schumann’s Arabeske in C major, op. 18.

Sir András Schiff is world-renowned as a pianist, conductor, pedagogue and lecturer. Music critics and audiences alike continue to be inspired by the masterful and intellectual approach he brings to each masterpiece he performs. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1953, Sir András studied piano at the Liszt Ferenc Academy with Pál Kadosa, György Kurtág and Ferenc Rados; and in London with George Malcom. Recitals and special cycles, including the complete works of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Bartók constitute an important component of his work. Having collaborated with the world's leading orchestras and conductors, he now focuses primarily on solo recitals, play-conducting appearances, and exclusive conducting projects.
