Beethoven Conversations Around the World

Lauded by contemporaries and critics alike for her visionary interpretations of surpassing depth, immediacy, and communicative power, Weiss brings her dazzling technical skill and expressive sensitivity to bear in this global music commissioning and performing project. Featuring five world premieres by composers from Iran, Syria, Jordan, Ghana, and the Philippines, the power of music conveys a message of unity and peace in response to US and international social environments. Weiss’ beautifully curated performance pairs 32 Beethoven sonatas with 32 newly commissioned piano pieces from 32 highly diverse composers in 32 countries spanning the globe.
