Beethoven Sonatas by Susan Merdinger Music With a View #4

Multi-awarded and internationally-acclaimed classical pianist, music director, and educator Susan Merdinger delves into Beethoven’s romantic sonatas this Sunday, December 13 at 2 PM Central Time.

Susan is a distinguished musician with a career spanning almost four decades now. She is an alumna of Yale University, the Yale School of Music, and the Manhattan School of Music. Some of her awards include being a two-time Gold Medalist at the Global Music Awards, First Prize at the International Music Competition of France in 2013, Honored Artist of The American Prize in 2019, First Prizes in the Bradshaw and Buono International Piano Competitions for Solo and Duo, and Winner of Artists International in New York.
Commanding standing ovations from her emotionally charged and spiritually uplifting performances in major concert halls around the world, she has been hailed as "exhilarating" by the Scotland Herald, while the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung declared her playing was "breathtaking, daring, and enormously joyous.” Critics are unanimous in their descriptions of Susan's fire, passion, thought-provoking interpretations, and astonishing technique that goes beyond the mere playing of notes on a page; every work she presents with a masterful sound and style, reminiscent of the "Golden Era of Pianists.”
Recently, Susan has participated in Northbrook’s Symphony’s historical virtual concert to celebrate the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven. In the midst of the Global COVID-19 Pandemic, fifty musicians and audio-video engineers came together to rehearse and record the concert in a socially-distanced manner, each musician at least 6 feet apart from one another, fully-masked in formal concert attire.
Let Susan’s mastery of the piano remind you of why Beethoven is one of the most significant and influential composers of all time, as well as exhibit her own musical prowess.
