ANDREAS HAEFLIGER

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2007 ● 8 PM

One of the most profound artists of our time and a “messenger of Beethoven” (The Fresno Bee), Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger continues his personal “Perspectives on Beethoven” series, in which he pairs the complete sonatas with related compositions by other masters. “Unlike many virtuosos, Haefliger is a musician first and pianist second” (Chicago Tribune), receiving praise for a rare combination of power and poetry.
