Pianists Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss, presented by Princeton University Concerts

"Jonathan and I share the deep conviction that you can never really know all there is to know about great music," remarks Mitsuko Uchida, one of the world's most revered Schubert interpreters, "and that it's worth spending your whole life trying to know a little more." Perhaps that is one of the many reasons that we cannot get enough of these two beloved pianists, both of whom have made multiple appearances on our series. Now making their PUC debut as a duo in a rare joint recital, the legendary pair invites us to try to know a little more about Schubert with a program singularly focused on this composer, whose many works for piano four-hands were written for friends gathered at evening salons. And so we will have our own "Schubertiade," as these events came to be known, in the ultimate realization of PUC's tagline: "the world's most celebrated musicians among friends."
