Week 2 of our Piano Festival continues with two programs devoted to the commanding brilliance and deep expressive power of Beethoven and Brahms. Under the direction of Music Director Andreas Delfs, Jonathan Biss brings clarity and conviction to Beethoven’s majestic “Emperor” Concerto, paired with the composer’s vibrant Symphony No. 8. Framed by dramatic overtures, these concerts reveal four masterpieces that balance strength with lyricism and close the festival with authority, depth, and unforgettable artistry.
