Alice Sara Ott, piano
Alice Sara Ott invites us to (re)discover John Field, the composer behind the nocturne form.
Too rarely heard in France, even though she recently performed at the Seine Musicale and was an artist-in-residence at Radio France, the Japanese-German pianist comes to Avenue Montaigne for the first time in recital with a highly personal program combining major works by Beethoven with the lesser-known Nocturnes of John Field. The nocturne is one of the most popular and beloved musical forms. Yet many are unaware of its creator: John Field. The musical legacy of this contemporary of Beethoven influenced not only Chopin, but generations of composers up to the present day. On stage and on record with Deutsche Grammophon, Alice Sara Ott seeks to share the story of this little-known yet essential figure in the history of the piano.

The Théâtre des Champs- Elysées is undoubtedly one of the finest venues in Paris . Built in 1913 , it has the distinction of having been designed by a group of artists architects Henry Van de Velde and Auguste Perret , the painter and sculptor Antoine Bourdelle , the painter Maurice Denis , and the crystal- René Lalique to do mention the main ones .

Two years later , on 23 September 1987, the theater reopened its doors , completely renovated. Fifteen years after this important work it was decided to undertake a new renovation campaign , but to prevent the complete closure of the theater for an entire season , work is now carried by step during the summer . Then it is to replace aging equipment , to remedy wear certain parts of the theater and improve spectator comfort and artists during their visit .
