RALPH KIRSHBAUM & SHAI WOSNER: BEETHOVEN

Special Events, Music

Mar 09 - 10


ABOUT THE SHOW


Famed cellist Ralph Kirshbaum, whose live recording in London's Wigmore Hall of the all-Beethoven Sonatas and Variations was released last fall on Onyx Classics, will be joined by pianist Shai Wosner, who returns to The Wallis after his acclaimed Bridge to Beethoven concert with Jennifer Koh in March 2016. Over two nights in the Bram Goldsmith Theater, Kirshbaum and Wosner will tackle the complete works of Beethoven for cello and piano. Join us at The Wallis for this unique Beethoven immersion.

These concerts are made possible at The Wallis by generous support from Susan and Peter Strauss.

Please join us for a free pre-show conversation at 7pm prior to both concerts. Learn more here.

Kirshbaum & Wosner will be signing their CD "Beethoven: Complete Sonatas & Variations for Cello & Piano" immediately following each concert.
