Mitsuko Uchida Reschedules Postponed Schubert Recital To June 18

Carnegie Hall today announced that the all-Schubert recital originally scheduled to be performed by pianist Mitsuko Uchida on April 30 has been rescheduled for a new date, Tuesday, June 18 at 8:00 p.m., in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. The recital program remains as planned and will include Schubert's Piano Sonata in E-flat Major, D. 568; Piano Sonata in A Minor, D. 784; and Piano Sonata in A Major, D. 959. Tickets for the original April 30 recital at Carnegie Hall will be honored for the newly-scheduled June 18 date.

Prior to this June 18 recital, Ms. Uchida next returns to Carnegie Hall on Saturday, May 4 at 8:00 p.m. for another all-Schubert program. The May 4 program will include Schubert's Piano Sonata in A Minor, D. 537; Piano Sonata in C Major, D. 840, "Reliquie;" and Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960.

These two recital programs are the culmination of a two-year exploration of Schubert's piano sonatas at Carnegie Hall. Beginning in the 2017-2018 season, Ms. Uchida selected 12 of Schubert's major works for piano and has been performing them in major concert halls across Europe and North America.

Ticketholders with questions should contact CarnegieCharge at (212) 247-7800.

Her recording of the Schoenberg Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez and The Cleveland Orchestra won four awards, including the Gramophone Award for Best Concerto.

A trustee of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust and Director of Marlboro Music Festival, Ms. Uchida was awarded the 2015 Golden Mozart Medal from the Stiftung Mozarteum in Salzburg and the Praemium Imperiale from the Japan Art Association.
