SUMMARY:St John's International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell
DESCRIPTION:St John’s International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout St John’s International Piano Series: Jonathan Powell\n\n\n\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano no.3 in C major\, op.2 \n\n\n\nHummel Sonata in E flat major\, op.13 \n\n\n\nInterval \n\n\n\nR. Schumann Faschingsschwank aus Wien \n\n\n\nRavel Menuet sur le nom d’Haydn \n\n\n\nOhana 12 Etudes d’interprétation for piano\, IV. Main gauche seule (in memoriam Maurice Ravel) \n\n\n\nRavel La valse \n\n\n\nThe original performer for this concert date was Jonathan Powell\, whose sad death was announced at the beginning of January. \n\n\n\nWe are enormously grateful to Jean-Efflam Bavouzet for stepping into the Series at this late date. A pianist of international renown\, his recordings of the complete solo piano works of Haydn\, and of Ravel\, have received universal acclaim. \n\n\n\nJean-Efflam brings a programme of beautiful music wrapped in a web of connections. Beethoven’s virtuosic piano sonata no.3 is dedicated to his teacher Haydn.  \n\n\n\nHummel\, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven’s\, also took lessons with Haydn. Schumann wrote his piece about the extravagant Mardi Gras celebrations that he witnessed in Vienna. \n\n\n\nRavel’s short Menuet – it is only a minute and a half – was a commission to mark the centenary of Haydn’s death. Maurice Ohana’s fourth Etude is a tribute to Ravel\, who wrote his left-handed concerto for a pianist injured in the First World War.  \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, Ravel’s La Valse\, a composition that was interrupted and terrifyingly changed by the same devastating war. It will be thrilling to hear Jean-Efflam play this piece. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £18.00 to £40.00 \n\n\n\nA fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event across all channels – website\, phone and in-person bookings at the Box Office. The fee is waived for Oxford Playhouse members. \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 22 May 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval
