Jonathan Biss

Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage Seating Chart
Hailed as “one of the most thoughtful and technically accomplished pianists of the younger generation” (BBC Music Magazine), Jonathan Biss has embarked on an ambitious project to record the complete cycle of Beethoven’s 32 sonatas. “His journey will be well worth following,” proclaimed The New York Times, and Carnegie Hall audiences get the chance to do so live when the intrepid pianist performs two of the sonatas from the cycle, including the "Waldstein," in a recital with works by Brahms, Chopin, and György Kurtág.
