Celebrity Series of Boston Presents: Paul Lewis, piano
Jordan Hall
Artist(s)
More than a decade ago, pianist Paul Lewis made his Boston and Celebrity Series debut with a sensational sold-out recital of Schubert’s last three piano sonatas.
In the intervening years, Lewis returned as a solo recitalist, recital partner, and orchestral soloist, always drawing praise for the deftness, shading, and intelligence of his interpretations. Celebrated as the “world’s most compelling interpreter of Schubert piano music” (The Arts Desk), Lewis returns this season, once again immersed in a worldwide recital tour of the composer’s final three sonatas. These introspective and profound works offer endless opportunities for reflection, and we invite you to experience—again or for the first time—these masterworks with the brilliant Paul Lewis.
