About this concert
"One thing's for sure we will never hear Beethoven played with such humility, musical understanding and sheer technical conviction than that by Ms. Pires." (Serenade) Widely regarded as one of the great pianists of our time, Portuguese virtuoso Maria João Pires makes her ASO debut in an evening not to be missed. She joins music director Nathalie Stutzmann and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Beethoven's sublime Piano Concerto No. 4. The concert stays in the German-Romantic vein with works by Mendelssohn and Schumann, including a musical postcard from Scotland by the 20-year-old Mendelssohn. The Hebrides Overture paints an enigmatic portrait of a sea cave in the Inner Hebrides islands. And the Symphony No. 4 by Robert Schumann offers a feverish flight through intense lyricism and bravura.

A consummate professional who glows with humility, gratitude and grace. She has been my favorite classical pianist for over 30 years. A truly magical interpreter of Mozart who brings so much fun when fun is called for, sadness when it’s the intent, and both with such fluidity and clarity. She remains a master and delivered beyond my expectations. A beautiful show by a bonafide artist. See her now while you still can.

Maria João Pires Biography
Born in 1944 in Lisbon, Maria João Pires gave her first public performance at the age of 4 and began her studies of music and piano with Campos Coelho and Francine Benoît, continuing later in Germany, with Rosl Schmid and Karl Engel. In addition to her concerts, she has made recordings for Erato for fifteen years and Deutsche Grammophon for twenty years.
Since the 1970s, she has devoted herself to reflecting the influence of art in life, community and education, trying to discover new ways of establishing this way of thinking in society. She has searched for new ways which, respecting the development of individuals and cultures, encourage the sharing of ideas.
In 1999, she created the Belgais Centre for the Study of the Arts in Portugal. Maria João Pires regularly offers interdisciplinary workshops for professional musicians and music lovers. In the Belgais concert hall concerts and recordings regularly take place. In future these will be shared with the international digital community (pay and non-pay).
In 2012, in Belgium, she initiated two complementary projects; the Partitura Choirs, a project which creates and develops choirs for children from disadvantaged backgrounds as in Belgium the „Hesperos Choir, and the Partitura Workshops. All of the Partitura projects have the aim to create an altruistic dynamic between artists of different generations by proposing an alternative in a world too often focused on competitiveness. This philosophy is being spread worldwide at Partitura projects and workshops.
