38. Before Beethoven: Stephan Loges & Eugene Asti
17 October 2020, 13:15 - 14:15
Concert

Holywell St
Oxford
OX1 3BN

Following on from our earlier Song Connections event on Beethoven and the Enlightenment, Stephan Loges and Eugene Asti present a recital placing Beethoven as the crucial pivot between earlier composers such as C.P.E. Bach, Zelter, Haydn and Mozart, and the inimitable master of song Franz Schubert.
The German bass-baritone Stephan Loges has been described as ‘bringing impressive gravitas… and a touching tenderness’ by Gramophone, and he is always a pleasure to welcome to the Festival with the masterful pianist Eugene Asti.
This concert will be streamed completely live from the Holywell Music Room. Shortly afterwards, it will also be available to watch again (using the same ticket and link) until 1 November 2020. Click here for further information on how tickets will work this year.
