Michael Endres (piano)

A feast of lyricism, drama, and dazzling pianism awaits in this solo recital by internationally renowned pianist, Michael Endres. The programme opens with the third of our Schubert masterpieces, Sonata in A major, one of his most endearing and charming works. Liszt’s virtuosic transcription brings brilliance to Schubert’s Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel and Schumann’s Dedication, composed as a wedding gift to his wife, distills song into piano poetry.
Tchaikovsky’s tender Lullaby, Op. 16 No. 1, offers a moment of calm before the programme bursts into the irresistible syncopations and wit of Gershwin’s Songbook. From The Man I Love to I Got Rhythm, Endres brings these iconic American classics to life with flair, charm, and rhythmic sparkle.
