LSF Concert Finale

Our festival concludes with Stewart Goodyear, Canada’s preeminent ambassador to the international piano stage. Proclaimed “a phenomenon” by the Los Angeles Times and “one of the best pianists of his generation” by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Stewart’s radiant genius will leave you astonished and transported. His program includes Beethoven’s Appassionata and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Stewart stunned the music world in 2012 by performing all 32 Beethoven sonatas from memory in one day at the Toronto Luminato Festival. He has since recorded all sonatas and concertos of Beethoven. Stewart is also a brilliant composer (the PSQ recorded his piano quintet recently), so expect to hear at least one encore penned by Stewart.
