Paul Lewis: Mozart+ | Perth

We are thrilled to welcome back the inimitable Paul Lewis to the stage! 🌟 The British concert pianist, renowned for his performances of Beethoven and Schubert, now turns his insightful musicianship to Mozart.

What more is there to say about Mozart? A great deal, according to Paul Lewis.

‘For many years I’ve wanted to spend some time focusing on Mozart’s piano sonatas and have long felt sceptical of the broadly held view that these remarkable works are the poor siblings of his piano concertos.’

This recital series challenges that ideology by juxtaposing the many facets of this rich corner of the piano repertoire. Experience works by other composers that present both contrasts with and connections to Mozart’s piano writing. 🎶

• Listen for the transparency and humor of Poulenc and the playful sensuality of Debussy’s L'isle joyeuse as threads leading back to Mozart's sonatas.

Lewis brings a unique approach:

‘Every time I play a concert, I treat it as a lesson. You comb through everything and try to be your own best teacher. It’s always changing. Every concert experience is a step in the process.’

Join us for this captivating journey with Paul Lewis—direct, honest, and charismatic, infusing emotion and depth into every note. ✨
