Music at St. Matthew’s presents pianist Andrew von Oeyen in a solo recital of music by Liszt, Schubert and Mozart on Friday, November 13 at 8 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Church, 1031 Bienveneda. Since his debut at age 16 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, von Oeyen has performed to critical acclaim around the world. A former Malibu resident, von Oeyen performed at St. Matthew’s as a teenager and has returned to Music at St. Matthew’s to perform throughout the years. During the 2009-10 season, he will tour Japan twice, performing the Beethoven ‘Emperor’ Concerto with the Berliner Symphoniker Orchestra, and later in recital. He will also appear in recital with violinist Sarah Chang throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. The St. Matthew’s program will include Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 23; Liszt’s Selections from ‘Ann’e de P’rlerinage,’ Liszt-Verdi’s ‘Rigoletto’ Paraphrase, and Berg’s Sonata for Piano, Op. 1. The virtuoso pianist was recently lauded by Washington Post critic Tim Page for his participation in the Hayes Piano Series at the Kennedy Center. ‘I would go as far as to say that von Oeyen played the finest all-around performance of Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B Monor that I have heard in many years.’ For tickets and information, call 310-573-7422 or visit www.musicguildonline.org. Admission at the door is $35.
