Raj Bhimani, piano. Beethoven's Sonata Opus 101 took inspiration from Baroque keyboard works and also provided inspiration for later composers. In this program, the Sonata will be surrounded by Bach's Toccata in E Minor and Cesar Franck's monumental Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue, offering an opportunity to reflect on the influences on and from Beethoven. Pianist Raj Bhimani's concerts are hailed by the New York Times as "virtuosic, heartfelt and eloquent." Time Out NY noted him as being a "gifted and highly expressive pianist." Performing regularly across North America and Europe, he also makes frequent appearances in India. In New York, where he resides, he appears often at Lincoln Center as well as at other venues.
