A native of Toronto, Canada, pianist Stewart Goodyear is an accomplished young artist known for his musical imagination, elegant style and exquisite technique. He has performed with many of the major orchestras of the world including the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Montreal Symphony, and the Atlanta Symphony. He has also formed a highly successful partnership with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and its long term Music Director, Paavo Jarvi with whom he has frequently appeared.

Beethoven's last five piano sonatas, opus 101 in A, opus 106 in B flat, opus 109 in E, opus 110 in A flat, and opus 111 in C minor are considered to be some of the composer's greatest achievements. They were written late in life between 1816 and 1822 and contain some of his most deeply felt music.
