English pianist Paul Lewis is one of the world’s most sought-after Beethoven interpreters, known for “subtle but authoritative” (London’s The Times) interpretations of the composer’s concertos. In his Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage debut, he performs the sublime Piano Concerto No. 4 with Orchestra of St. Luke’s (OSL) and esteemed conductor Andrew Manze. The program also pairs two playfully constructed works: Haydn’s so-called “Palindrome” Symphony, nicknamed for its “Minuetto al Roverso”; and John Adams’s similarly intricate Fearful Symmetries, commissioned and premiered by OSL under Adams’s baton in 1988. Adams calls the rhythmically charged, popularly choreographed piece “seriously aerobic … a Pantagruel boogie with a thrusting, grinding beat.”
