Maria João Pires Joins Palm Beach Symphony For

An Unforgettable Evening Of Beethoven And Mahler

Palm Beach Symphony presents two masterworks
that deliver all the passion, poetry and drama of classical
music as acclaimed pianist Maria João Pires makes a rare
American appearance with Music Director Gerard Schwarz
at the podium in a program of Beethoven and Mahler on
Monday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kravis Center for the
Performing Arts.
“Maria Pires is one of the more extraordinary pianists
especially for Mozart and Beethoven,” said Maestro
Schwarz. “I’ve worked with her numerous times at the
Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center. Her playing was
always exquisite, poignant, very thoughtful and heartfelt.”
Maria João Pires will perform Beethoven’s Piano
