The Beethoven Project: Ian Pace continues his exploration of Beethoven’s nine symphonies (transcribed by Franz Liszt) with his iconic Pastoral Symphony No.6. The concert will include Michael Finnissy’s English Country Tunes (1-3), Beethoven: Six Goethe-Lieder (transcribed by Franz Liszt) and a new work by Steve Crowther.

Praise for last year’s concert, “[Liszt’s] version of Beethoven’s Fifth is masterly, seemingly leaving nothing out and taxing the pianist to the very limit. But Pace was equal to his every demand”, Martin Dreyer

Programme:
Beethoven: Six Goethe-Lieder (transcribed by Franz Liszt)
Steve Crowther: Three musical tributes: Rock with Stock; A Study in Glass and Louis’ Angry Blues
Michael Finnissy: English Country Tunes (movements 1-3)
Beethoven: Symphony No.6 (transcribed by Franz Liszt)
