Light and Shadows
Mathieu Gaudet plays two works by Franz Schubert. The luminous Sonata No. 7 to start, written at age 20, followed by the tragic Sonata No. 15, about suffering, loneliness and death, but also hope and the divine energy that surrounds us all.

Fame and Abandonment
Ishay Shaer brings a recital commemorating a special Beethoven year. Beethoven's 'Appassionata' needs no public relations, but Stephen Heller's nearly forgotten masterpiece, brimming with spirituality and humour and based on themes from the same legendary work by Beethoven, deserves to be liberated from long seclusion.
