Elizabeth Sombart plays The Art of Chopin

“A noted Chopin exponent for many years… Sombart’s playing is superb: technically precise but possessing a flexibility and freedom that lets the music breathe.” (The Observer, 2016)

200 years after the seven-year-old Chopin wrote his first Polonaise, celebrated French pianist Elizabeth Sombart presents a selection of the composer’s finest works for solo piano. By turns romantic, majestic and exhilarating, this programme will speak to both aficionados and those experiencing Chopin’s music for the first time.

Honoured in France for lifetime services to music, Elizabeth Sombart has performed in the most prestigious international concert venues – Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Suntory Hall (Tokyo), Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (Paris). In addition to solo and chamber music recitals, she has performed the great concertos with L’Orchestre National de Lille and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. She has recorded an extensive discography, published several books, and been honoured in France for lifetime achievements and services to music.
