**\*Please purchase a ticket before marking your attendance - click** [here](https://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/202612191930) **to book\*** Join us as Boris Giltburg plays Prokofiev's three 'War Sonatas', classics of 20th century solo piano repertoire. From the website: "Prokofiev’s three War Sonatas, so called because they were composed between 1939 and 1944, a period of relentless global conflict and bloodshed, amount to an immense triptych in which the composer confronts audience and pianist alike with music of herculean energy and relentless intensity. Boris Giltburg was praised by the *Telegraph* for ‘digging deep into the fabric of the music to illuminate its emotional content and harnessing an authoritative bravura to underline the savagery and nervy energy that the scores often convey’ in his acclaimed 2012 recording of these deeply affecting works." **PROGRAMME** Prokofiev: * Piano Sonata No. 6 in A Op. 82 * Piano Sonata No. 7 in B flat Op. 83 * Piano Sonata No. 8 in B flat Op. 84 #### **Artists:** * Boris Giltburg - Piano **TICKETS** Ticket prices range from £18-50, there are a fair amount of tickets available at time of writing.

We'll head for drinks afterwards at one of the many nearby pubs, maybe The Coach Makers Arms or The Golden Eagle, both on which are on Marylebone Lane.
