Camerata Pacifica Presents: Gilles Vonsattel Plays All Beethoven

Experience the raw fire and revolutionary brilliance of Ludwig van Beethoven in a sweeping solo recital performed by internationally acclaimed pianist Gilles Vonsattel — all at an exclusive Groupmuse Nights Out discount.

Beethoven didn’t just write piano music — he reinvented what the piano could say. Across these four sonatas, you’ll hear him push the instrument to its emotional and technical limits:

Sonata in C Minor, Op. 13, “Pathétique” – Stormy drama, aching lyricism, and one of the most beloved slow movements ever written.

Sonata in E-flat Major, Op. 27, No. 1, “Sonata quasi una fantasia” – Experimental and dreamlike, breaking traditional sonata form long before it was fashionable.

Sonata in A-flat Major, Op. 26 – A rare funeral march anchors this deeply expressive and inventive work.

Sonata in F Minor, Op. 57, “Appassionata” – Pure volcanic intensity. This is Beethoven at his most fierce, defiant, and electrifying.

From intimate whispers to thunderous cascades of sound, this program traces Beethoven’s transformation from Classical heir to Romantic revolutionary. And if you’ve never heard the Appassionata live, this is your moment. And if you have? You already know why you need to come.

Our Nights Out program gives you access to world-class performances at a special community rate — no fluff, just phenomenal music shared with fellow listeners who truly care. Seats are limited — join us for a night of passion, power, and piano transcendence.
