Benjamin Grosvenor

Join Benjamin Grosvenor for a fascinating program of fantasies and sonatas spanning the 19th century. Beethoven’s dreamlike Moonlight Sonata is followed by Robert Schumann’s mighty C Major Fantasy, dedicated to fellow virtuoso Liszt. Scriabin’s luminous Sonata No. 2 — inspired by the sea, with its gentle, moonlit waves and stormy climax — leads to Ravel’s Gaspard de la nuit, a masterpiece of shimmering colors and breathtaking virtuosity.
