For as long as he can remember, Jonathan Biss has been playing the piano. At the same time, he has been passionate about the piano compositions of Beethoven. Over the years, he has been establishing himself as a leading performer of the composer’s entire piano repertoire.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of German Conductor Gunther Herbig, welcomes Biss to Strathmore for the performance of Beethoven’s highly emotional Piano Concerto No. 3 on Thursday.
