Faculty Recital: Paul Berkowitz, piano

Join us for an evening of classical piano with UC Santa Barbara Music Faculty Paul Berkowitz at the Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall, UCSB, on Friday, April 12, 2024, at 7:30 pm. Berkowitz will captivate audiences with his masterful interpretations of timeless works, including Joseph Haydn’s “Variations in F minor”, Francis Poulenc’s “Three Novelettes”, “Three Intermezzi”, “Presto in B flat”, and “Thème varié”, closing with Robert Schumann’s “Humoreske, Op. 20”.

Paul Berkowitz has recorded the complete Piano Sonatas of Schubert for Meridian Records to worldwide acclaim. He was described by the London Sunday Times as being “in the royal class of Schubert interpreters” and his CD recordings of the Last Three Schubert Piano Sonatas were included among the same newspaper’s Records of the Year. His recording of Schumann’s Kreisleriana was selected by BBC Radio Record Review as the best of all available recordings.
