Odeon

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth on this day internationally-recognized concert pianist (and world-renowned astrologer) Gary Goldschneider will present all 18 of Mozart's piano sonatas in a single marathon performance.

This six-hour concert will begin at 1pm and end at approximately 7pm and is made up of four separate concerts each lasting between 60 and 75 minutes (with three 20-minute intermissions in between). These four concerts will present the sonatas in the order of their composition. Mozart wrote these sonatas aged between 18 and 33, and span the major creative periods in his life, as well as show his development in this form. Incidentally, Goldschneider himself is also a composer and has presented his works in Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, France, New Zealand, England and the United States. His opera Call Me Ishmael had its world première on May 30, 2004, at the Stadsschouwburg in Amsterdam.
