Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is one of the world's best-loved works for piano, moving from its instantly recognisable opening to a powerful and dramatic finale. Hear this classical masterpiece performed live in the warm glow of candlelight at Fountainhall Church at the Cross in Aberdeen.
Acclaimed pianist Ugnius Pauliukonis takes to the keys for a Christmas programme spanning some of classical music's biggest names. Alongside Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, hear his dramatic Pathétique Sonata, Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze, Liszt's Sposalizio and Sonetto del Petrarca 123, and Debussy's beautiful Clair de Lune.
There's a suitably seasonal addition too, with Tchaikovsky's December 'Noël' from The Seasons bringing a touch of Christmas to the programme.
Whether Beethoven is already firmly on your playlist or you're trying live classical music for the first time, this one-hour recital is a brilliant excuse to step away from the Christmas rush and enjoy an evening of live piano music in a candlelit Aberdeen setting.
