Georgian pianist, Mariam Batsashvili, makes her first appearance in the SJE Arts International Piano Series.

Tonight, her programme leads from Beethoven, through Schubert to Liszt and begins with Beethoven’s stormy Sonata in F minor, ‘Appassionata’. Liszt admired all Beethoven’s piano sonatas and ‘Appassionata’ was one that he performed frequently.
