In 2023, Heather Taves began her Beethoven Journey to perform, write, and speak about all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas.
“Heather Taves’s Beethoven Journey is remarkable and moving. She is a stunning pianist, bringing her formidable technique to these great works. But she is also a brilliant thinker, and in her spoken introductions to each sonata, she illuminates the complex relationships that connect Beethoven and his world…. Please, please, go and hear Heather Taves! These performances will change your life.” – Simon Docking, Director, Scotia Festival of Music
