James Lisney presents an exploration of Schubert’s eleven completed piano sonatas in The Schubert Series I-IV - four concerts spread through the year.

Concert I.
Franz Schubert
Sonata in a, D 537
Sonata in A, D 664
Sonata in A, D 959

Over the past three decades, James Lisney has gained authority over this repertoire with acclaimed recordings, cyclic presentations at London’s South Bank Centre, the Leipzig Gewandhaus and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; and later this year he will be taking his innovative Schubertreise series to Mumbai. As with all four of this year’s concerts, this programme draws from a wide range of Schubert’s thirteen year involvement with the piano sonata.
