Our Project
The year 2020 marked the 250th birthday of Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770— 1827). We honor the span of his creative life with a concert of his music on two different fortepianos representing the middle and late periods of his musical style. UC Berkeley Music Professor Nicholas Mathew will perform Beethoven pieces from these periods, with a thoughtful and historically informed performance practice.
The earlier piano is a replica of an 1800 model by the Schanz brothers. The instrument is part of UCSC’s collection, and is lightweight, with a range of 5 1/3 octaves. UC Berkeley contributes the second instrument, a reconstruction of Conrad Graf’s 1820 model - a somewhat heavier and larger piano, with a range of 6 1/2 octaves.
Beethoven’s style evolved significantly over the course of his life, in a way that influenced the course of musical culture. Equally influential was the piano itself, whose rapid transformations during the early 19th century not only reflected composers’ changing musical values but also made new musical thoughts possible. To trace the intertwined development of Beethoven’s music and that of the piano is our inspiration for this concert.
This concert is a joint presentation by Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, Distinguished Artists Concert Series, and UCSC Music Department.
When: Saturday November 19, 7:30pm
Where: Messiah Lutheran Church, 801 High St. Santa Cruz

What we are raising money for
In order to present this concert with its special instruments, expert performers, and to deliver it to the public, there are a number of logistical details that need to be taken care of. Pianos need to be insured, transported and tuned. We need to pay an honorarium to Professor Nicholas Matthew, a Beethoven expert and pianist. In order to reach as many Beethoven enthusiasts in the community as possible, we need to mount a significant publicity campaign. And of course, the concert hall must be rented.
