Pe-Concert Talk: Richard-Hamelin Plays Beethoven

Victoria Symphony’s Bass Trombone Bob Fraser shares insights on our concert Richard-Hamelin Plays Beethoven.

VS Audience favourite Maestro Bellincampi is back with a program of music featuring Schubert’s Symphony No. 4 and a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. Described as a “highly sensitive” pianist (Gramophone), Charles Richard-Hamelin’s playing is recognized as “fluent, multifaceted, and tonally seductive” (BBC Music Magazine). In 2015, Charles received the Silver Medal at the International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw and the Krystian Zimerman Prize for best performance of a sonata.

Victoria Symphony respectfully acknowledges and offers gratitude to the lək̓ʷəŋən people, known today as the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations, whose unceded lands we live, work, and perform on. We honour their stewardship, care, and leadership — past, present, and future.
