She starts in the chronological middle with the lovely ‘Moonlight’ sonata. \n\n\n\nThe catchy name was added by others: Beethoven himself subtitled the sonata ‘Quasi una fantasia’ and it is a kind of fantasy\, opening with a dreamy adagio\, the melody building to an aching sadness and mystery. \n\n\n\nFor her final piece\, Mishka leaves Beethoven for Ravel. Miroirs is a brilliant impressionistic work\, composed when Ravel had begun to make his mark with the public but was still battling for recognition with entrenched powers at the Paris Conservatoire. \n\n\n\nEach one of the five movements is dedicated to a friend and fellow member of the avant-garde club Les Apaches. \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 £7.00 to £35.00 \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.
