ALICE SARA OTT plays Field & Beethoven

Bringing the magic of Dublin’s early Romantic salons to the sunlit Tuscan countryside, we are delighted to welcome pianist Alice Sara Ott to share her radiant interpretation of Irish composer John Field’s Nocturnes. Field’s poetic, twilight miniatures are works that quietly shaped the future of the piano through their intimacy and cantabile grace; Ott’s luminous touch and introspective artistry reveal their quiet daring. Paired with Beethoven, this programme traces a line from delicate inward reverie to bold expressive architecture, illuminating two composers who redefined what the piano could say.
