This is the second integral on the 19th-century composer to be held in the Auditorio de Tenerife by the famous British musician.

 

As part of its Chamber Cycle, the Auditorio de Tenerife is offering on Tuesday (3rd October) a piano concert whose programme will include three sonatas by Franz Schubert (1797-1828). It will be the second Integral performed by the English musician Paul Lewis on the Austrian composer's work for this instrument. The event takes place at 7:30 p.m. in the Chamber Hall.

With frankness and sincerity, the sonatas by Schubert express some of the most essential elements of human experience: longing, consolation, despair, joy, loss, nostalgia, and hope.

Paul Lewis will be a guest at the Auditorio de Tenerife up to four times between 2023 and 2024. This is the second concert to present various works by Franz Schubert, covering the last 12 years of his life. From the charming lyricism of the early sonatas to the transcendent creativity of the last masterpieces, and the harrowing moments of despair when his health began to decline.
