Alexei Grynyuk plays Beethoven and Schubert
British-Ukrainian pianist Alexei Grynyuk performs all over the world in the most prestigious concert halls and music festivals. At HaagsPianoHuis, he will play Beethoven's 32 Variations and Franz Schubert's last piano sonata.
"Schubert has become one of my favourite composers to perform in recent years. For me, his music reaches emotional depths like no other. His hauntingly beautiful melodic lines and colourful harmonies create a contemplative, deeply personal sense of musical narrative. The final Sonata evokes a particularly broad sense of time - a rare sensation in our hectic modern world.
The music calmly and patiently tells the story of sorrow, loneliness, hope and the pursuit of light. Beethoven's 32 Variations contrast dramatically with Schubert's music because of its fast tempo. Rapidly changing contrasting moods between short variations follow a classically harmonic sequence in a familiar typically Beethovenian turbulent world of c minor."
The hall opens at 16:00, the concert starts at 16:30 and lasts until 17:30. Afterwards, there will be drinks with the pianist.
