BEETHOVEN features some of the composer’s most famous works, including
“Moonlight Sonata,” “Pathetique Sonata” and selections
from the 5th and 9th Symphonies. The one-man show is a journey through
time that brings the audience close to the essence of a genius.

Felder was last seen at The Wallis with OUR GREAT TCHAIKOVSKY. Before
that he performed in solo plays about Gershwin, Chopin, Bernstein and
Liszt, not only impersonating those composers but performing their music
on the piano.
