Welcome to a celebration of Beethoven's 250th Birthday Year - featuring significant works for his favorite instrument - the piano. Our four-day festival features performer's who are among the most esteemed interpreters of his music, including pianists Jonathan Biss, Garrick Ohlsson, Alon Goldstein and Audrey Vardanega with cellist Tanya Tomkins.

The opening concert will begin with remarks from the director of the Center for Beethoven Studies at San Jose State University, Dr. Erica Buurman, and will conclude with a live q&a featuring the performers.
