Not to wax hyperbolic, but Jonathan Biss is simply one of world's top pianists - with “impeccable taste and a formidable technique” (The New Yorker), and the kind of probing depth and empathetic connection that makes any recital by him feel like a spiritual communion between performer and audience.

For this very special three-night run, Biss will present the final three piano sonatas by Franz Schubert, each paired with the New York Premiere of works Biss commissioned from Tyson Gholston Davis, Alvin Singleton, and Tyshawn Sorey. Schubert's final three sonatas were written in the last few months of his life, and are among the most expansive expressions of the human experience ever composed – each work offers an intimate yet transcendental journey of its own. The three new works offer a similar mix of honesty and profundity, each with a language and approach that's all its own.
