Renowned Swiss pianist, Cédric Pescia, will bring the Bach element of Music for Galway’s 41st concert season to an end on Thursday, April 27, at the Emily Anderson Concert Hall in the University of Galway.
Lausanne born Cédric Pescia, winner of the famous Gina Bachauer International Artists Piano Competition, is one of today’s most exciting pianists. Pescia is known for his refined sense of music, from Baroque to Contemporary, and also for his particularly elaborate programmes. Master of soft tones, he amazes with his clear and inspired touch, his joy of playing, and his musical charisma. For Pescia, music is always language and movement at the same time: what he plays must speak and sing, as well as flow and dance.
Audiences will have a chance to experience this as Cédric performs a beautiful programme for solo piano which includes classics like Schumann’s popular Waldszenen (Forest Scenes ), a suite of nine short pieces, and the penultimate of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, No. 31. These pieces will be interspersed with French Suites by Bach.
