SUMMARY:Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 & Tchaikovsky's Pathétique (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:Poetic and passionate performances are in store from two emerging Canadian talents. In September 2024\, Salmon Arm BC-born pianist Jaeden-Izik Dzurko took top honours at the Leeds International Piano Competition—the first Canadian to do so since Jon Kimura Parker won in 1984. Nicolas Ellis is Music Director of the Orchestre National de Bretagne and Principal Guest of Les Violons du Roy. He served as Artistic Collaborator of the Orchestre Métropolitain and Yannick Nézet-Séguin from 2018 to 2023. The intriguing title of Florence Tremblay’s work\, Les détours nécessaires (The Necessary Detours)\, alludes to the world of video games but also suggests that sometimes\, in life\, the most successful path is not always the necessary or obvious one to take.

The classically trained tenor is a member of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick and his debut album\, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa\, (2018) helped to bring the endangered language of the Wolastoqiyik people to new generations.

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Brantelid – Prokofiev and Mendelssohn's Scottish
DESCRIPTION:The misty and melancholy atmosphere of Edinburgh’s Holyrood Palace provided the initial inspiration for Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony. Its triumphant finale parallels the conclusion of Beethoven’s Egmont – a tragedy that ends in victory. The Symphony-Concerto in E minor is one of Prokofiev’s final works\, created in consultation with soloist Mstislav Rostropovich. It is one of the most demanding works in the cello repertoire. To interpret it\, Maestro Christian Kluxen welcomes his Danish compatriot\, Andreas Brantelid. \n\nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nConcert duration: Approx. 115 minutes including one 20 minute intermission\nPre-concert Chat: Please join us at 1:40 pm in the west lobby for a pre-concert chat featuring Music Director Christian Kluxen\, cellist Andreas Brantelid\, and VS bass trombone Robert Fraser.
