BEETHOVEN'S PIANO SONATAS

November 13, 2026 | 8:00pm | 415 On Westlake, Seattle

November 14, 2026 | 7:30pm | Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, Olympia

Over two evenings in Seattle and Olympia, pianist Gilles Vonsattel offers an intimate journey through nine of Ludwig van Beethoven’s most beloved works, his piano sonatas, in honor of the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s passing. Spanning his early, middle, and late periods, the two evenings will explore a distinct facet of his evolving voice, distilled through the singular presence of one artist at the piano. Each performance begins with a pre-concert lecture by Vonsattel, inviting audiences to listen more deeply and step inside the emotional and architectural world of these extraordinary works.
