UPEI’s Department of Music kicks off its winter concert series with a piano recital featuring Heather Taves, whose Beethoven Sonata Journey is remarkable and moving. First and foremost, she is a stunning pianist, bringing her formidable technique to these great works. But she is also a brilliant thinker, and in her spoken introductions to each sonata, she illuminates the complex relationships that connect Beethoven and his world, the instrument, the audience and its world, and Heather herself. An acclaimed and beloved pianist, she brings her soulful, poetic lyricism and precise technical mastery to audiences everywhere. Whether performing on concert stages around the world, in community evenings in her Prince Edward Island home, or writing about music in her entertaining blog, she connects with openness and humour.

Tickets can be purchased in advance on EventBrite.com, or by cash at the door.
