From Rob Hubbard at the Strib:
Jonathan Biss
Local classical music lovers have had the pleasure of experiencing this insightful pianist’s artistry in collaboration with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra as he premiered five new piano concertos inspired by the five written by Beethoven. Now he’s turned his focus to Beethoven’s Viennese neighbor, Franz Schubert, asking composers Timo Andres, Caroline Shaw and Tyson Gholston Davis to write new solo piano works inspired by Schubert’s. He’ll open the Frederic Chopin Society’s season by performing the Davis piece between Schubert Impromptus and a Sonata. (3 p.m. Sun., Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center, 130 S. Macalester St., St. Paul, $20-$40, 612-822-0123 or chopinsocietymn.org)

In today’s Pioneer Press fall arts guide:
The Frederic Chopin Society: Jonathan Biss
You may recall Jonathan Biss from the Beethoven/5 commissioning project, where the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra commissioned five contemporary composers to write new Beethoven-inspired concertos that Biss performed. Biss’ new project, “Echoes of Schubert,” invites composers to create new music paired with Franz Schubert’s solo piano works. From this project, Biss will perform Tyson Gholston Davis’ “Expansions of Light” as part of his recital hosted by the Chopin Society, along with several works by Schubert himself. 3 p.m. Oct. 6, Macalester College’s Mairs Concert Hall, $40, 612-822-0123 or chopinsocietymn.org.
