Paul Lewis live in Seattle

Experience Paul Lewis live on October 27th

Paul Lewis will perform a solo piano recital at the Taper Auditorium in Seattle, Washington on October 27, 2026. Lewis is a British pianist internationally recognized for his interpretations of the classical and romantic repertoire, particularly the works of Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms. His playing is often described as intellectually rigorous yet deeply expressive, characterized by clarity of articulation and a nuanced understanding of phrasing and structure. He avoids superficial virtuosity, instead prioritizing musicality and emotional depth.

The Taper Auditorium is located within the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Originally constructed in 1968 as part of the overall complex, it was significantly renovated and reopened in 2019 following a substantial gift from Jody and Marion Callan. The renovation focused on improving acoustics to better support musical performances; previously it primarily served as a lecture hall. The auditorium now hosts a variety of events including classical music concerts, chamber music recitals, and university lectures. It's designed to accommodate approximately 250 audience members and features a relatively intimate setting conducive to focused listening experiences. The space aims to provide a high-quality acoustic environment for both performers and listeners.
