Tessa Uys

**Tessa Uys** is a celebrated South African classical pianist known for her dynamic interpretations of Romantic and modern repertoire. With a career spanning decades, she's carved out a niche for bringing fresh energy to iconic composers, particularly through her acclaimed series of Beethoven symphony transcriptions by Franz Liszt – a project that showcases her technical brilliance and deep connection to these monumental works. A Royal Academy of Music London alumna, Uys has graced international stages while maintaining strong ties to South Africa's classical scene. She often collaborates with her daughter, Ben Schoeman, in piano duet performances, blending generational artistry. When she's not channeling Beethoven's symphonic power through solo piano, she explores vibrant works by Schumann, Prokofiev, and other composers, proving her versatility across musical eras.
