Delightfully intimate Beethoven!

At the second concert of the series ”Immortal” will be performed Beethoven’s piano concertos in a chamber arrangement by Vinzenz Lachner (1811–1893), where the pianist’s stage partner is a string quintet instead of an orchestra. Beethoven himself also arranged his orchestral works for chamber music ensembles in order to better introduce them to the audience. The most striking example here is the 2nd Symphony, which the composer arranged for a piano trio!

In addition to the piano concertos, the evening program includes the most intimate of chamber music – Arvo Pärt's works for string quartet, a rare genre among the composer's works.

Tickets available at Piletilevi.
