Martin Family Hall

For Music@Menlo's 2026–27 season, pianist Gilles Vonsattel presents Beethoven's complete Piano Sonatas across eight concerts. Hailed as "immensely talented" by the New York Times, Vonsattel brings both technical brilliance and deep musical insight to Beethoven’s works.
A captivating speaker, Gilles also presents full-evening lectures with live performance excerpts. In this September 18 installment, he traces Beethoven's remarkable journey from the Classical elegance and confidence of the op. 14 and op. 22 sonatas to the monumental Hammerklavier, one of the most technically demanding works ever written for the piano.
