Alice Sara Ott / Piano Recital

• Classical Music

She draws, she writes, she explains and, of course, she plays the piano. Alice Sara Ott is a pianist of our time. Bringing the music of the past, which she loves so much, into the present is an important concern for her. And the audience thanks her for it – with fantastic streaming figures and enthusiastic comments. She is characterised by an elegant virtuosity and an openness that defies the rigid conventions of the classical music business: »Music really is the only place where we can meet. No matter what religion, what cultural background you have, what political party you vote for.« The Munich-born pianist with Japanese roots believes that any form of marginalisation is contrary to the spirit of music, and in this way creates new connections in her concerts – between people, but also between the works. Thus Beethoven’s famous »Moonlight Sonata« meets John Field, the almost forgotten »inventor« of the nocturne.
