“Anton Kuerti is the best pianist currently playing.” – Fanfare Magazine

Naked and soulful, it is the solo piano that often strikes a deep chord in the hearts and minds of music lovers. In this rare opportunity to experience a master pianist at work, Anton Kuerti will perform an all-Beethoven program. Kuerti has performed with major orchestras including the Boston Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, National Symphony (Menuhin), and more. The recipient of numerous awards, in 2007 he received two more prestigious accolades: the Schumann Prize of the Schumann Gesellschaft in Germany, and the National Arts Prize of the Banff Centre in Canada.
