The Thirty Two Piano Sonatas of Beethoven

The Thirty Two
Piano Sonatas of Beethoven
A Fundraising Project
for the Benefit of
Mountain View
“Don’t only practice your art, but force your
way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can
raise men to the divine.”
Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven brings to mind the monumental.
A man who conquered life and all its obstacles to create
some of the greatest music ever written. A man who has
come to symbolize hope and strength for all humankind.
I am a believer in giving gifts, and I am convinced that
Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas are a gift many of
us have never had the experience of sharing, hearing live,
or performing. Performances of the complete Beethoven
sonatas are very rare—few pianists have the time or
the inclination to tackle such a monumental journey.
Ten years ago Charles performed the cycle in Calgary
for the first time. Ten years between Beethoven piano
sonata cycles is too long, and I found myself with a wish
list. That wish list included hearing the Beethoven piano
sonatas in concert once again.
This cycle also serves to fulfill another purpose.
It is a chance for both of us, Charles and myself, as
Artistic Directors of Mountain View, to give back to our
audience. All the funds raised from these nine concerts
will go directly towards the International Festival of Song
and Chamber Music Society and help continue to fund
our mandate—to showcase talented young musicians
in concerts, master classes and recitals. I hope you
enjoy these upcoming months of Beethoven—in his
own words, “Music is the one incorporeal entrance into
the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind
but which mankind cannot comprehend.”
The International Festival of Song and
Chamber Music Society is a non-profit charitable
organization with the registration number
89042 1597 RR0001.
The Mountain View International Festival
of Song and Chamber Music Society is
dedicated to providing opportunities for young
professional classical musicians. Our mandate
is to provide concert experience as well as
training completion at the highest level.

I have played Beethoven from San Diego,
California to New York City, New York,
and across Canada from British Columbia
to Ontario. Join me in this extraordinary
musical journey encompassing
Beethoven’s immense energy, humour,
and some of his most personal and
profound thoughts.
