Internationally acclaimed pianist Sir Stephen Hough presents a recital spanning the piano’s rich history.

Schubert and Brahms offer lyrical Romantic miniatures, while Schoenberg and Stockhausen explore bold twentieth-century sound worlds. Beethoven’s monumental “Waldstein” Sonata anchors the program, which concludes with Schumann’s vibrant Carnaval and Hough’s own arrangement of songs from Mary Poppins, blending virtuosity with wit and imagination.
