Alice Sara Ott

On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Alice Sara Ott will perform at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall. On this evening, the internationally acclaimed pianist will present a special musical encounter between John Field and Ludwig van Beethoven. The focus will be on Field’s Nocturnes, which Ott describes as pieces full of beauty and grace—works with which the Irish composer pioneered a new genre in Europe in the early 19th century. She combines these intimate, ethereal “night pieces” with three of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, including the famous “Moonlight Sonata.” The result is a poetic concert evening blending a delicate atmosphere, classical radiance, and surprising relevance. Anyone wishing to experience piano music at its finest will find here a program full of tranquility, depth, and quiet intensity.
