Amber Patron, James Lisney is performing at the 1901 Arts Club in aid of Amber.

James Lisney’s musical offerings centre upon Beethoven’s three final sonatas, one of music’s great spiritual journeys, written when the composer was turning fifty years old and occupied with the Missa Solemnis.  This transcendent, dramatic, lyrical, and ultimately communicative music is prefaced by complementary preludes by Bach, Chopin and Shostakovich.

About James

James Lisney enjoys a rich musical life, moving seamlessly from concerto and recital soloist to chamber musician, song accompanist and pianist director. Initiatives, such as his Schubertreise series at London’s Southbank Centre, his extensive Beethoven Project or the recording company Woodhouse Editions, provide a platform for his wide-ranging musical sympathies.

In recent years he has given Schubert cycles at the Leipzig Gewandhaus and in Mumbai; held residencies at Carnegie Recital Hall, New York and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; and he has recently completed a survey of the late music of Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin at St George’s, Bristol.

His recent and upcoming diary includes performances in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
