Beethoven is featured in this concert as artist and as muse. Beethoven’s piano works are performed by one of today’s foremost interpreters of his repertoire, pianist Olli Mustonen, along with compositions by Mustonen himself. The Asia premiere of Mustonen’s Taivaanvalot (meaning “lights from heaven”) will dazzle together with the works that inspired it.
EVENT TIME CHANGE: Please note that this concert will start at 7:30pm (originally scheduled for 8pm)
