The wonderful French pianist Cédric Tiberghien plays an exquisite recital program in the glorious acoustic of Adelaide Town Hall.
A seemingly simple hour of solo piano contains incredible musical riches. Brahms loved Bach’s mighty Partita for violin No. 2 in D minor so much that he worked it into a showcase, his Chaconne in D minor for left hand alone, while Mozart’s Piano Sonata in A major K331 and Beethoven’s Eroica Variations blend charm with significance. Sitting gently amongst these classical masterpieces is a modern classic – John Cage’s 4’33”, a playful reminder that listening can be an art in itself.
A prodigious early talent and serial international prize winner, Tiberghien is now a musician of consummate craft, commitment and versatility. He is equally at home as soloist with major orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland, Deutsche Symphonie and Boston Symphony, as chamber musician and as recitalist. He enjoys a strong ongoing relationship with Wigmore Hall in London.
Witness this most accomplished of international pianists as he brings this beautiful program to life in an Adelaide exclusive.
