Renowned pianist Sir András Schiff returns to the Herbst Theatre for an incomparable performance. In addition to performance acclaim, he is widely known for his warm humor and engaging presence, and is a favorite of San Francisco Performances audiences.
Sir András is world-renowned as a pianist, conductor, pedagogue, and lecturer. He brings masterful and intellectual insights to his performances, which have inspired audiences and critics alike. He has performed cycles of complete Beethoven sonatas as well as projects including the complete works of J.S. Bach, Haydn, Schubert, and Bartók, which constitute an important part of his work. Having collaborated with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, he now focuses primarily on solo recital, play-conducting appearances and exclusive conducting projects. His Bach has become an annual highlight at the BBC Proms and he regularly performs at the Verbier, Salzburg, and Baden-Baden Festivals as well as Wigmore Hall.
Vicenza is home to Cappella Andrea Barca, his own chamber orchestra consisting of international soloists, chamber musicians and friends founded in 1999. Together they have appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lucerne Festival, and Salzburg Mozartwoche.
