Faculty Concert: Bravo Beethoven!

Bruce Griffin playing solo piano in celebration of Beethoven. This June 1st program represents Beethoven’s three creative periods, tracing his evolution as a composer.

In assembling this program, I recognized how deeply Beethoven’s influence has shaped my own musical journey. At 12, I was introduced to the Adamant Music School in Adamant, Vermont, founded by Dr. Edwine Behre, a student of Theodor Leschetizky—who in turn studied with Beethoven’s own pupil, Carl Czerny. Later, at the Peabody Conservatory, my teachers Walter Hautzig and Leon Fleisher were both students of Artur Schnabel, who was also a student of Leschetizky. Through these connections, Beethoven’s music has remained a guiding force in my life, making this program especially meaningful to me.
