Beethoven: Complete works for violin & piano

Beethoven’s sonatas for violin and piano have a central role in the history of keyboard chamber music. The first performances of these works aroused strong reactions from both audiences and critics, and their influence on later generations of performers and composers, remains profound. Revered by nineteenth-century violinists and pianists, they remain classic works in the recital programmes of modern performers.

Ledra Music Soloists presents, for the first time in Cyprus, Beethoven’s complete works for violin and piano in four concerts with two of the most talented Cypriot soloists, Nikos Pittas and Nicolas Costantinou. You are invited to join us in a journey of discovery, which is abundant in astounding melodies and diffuse energy.
