Message from the President
 

There are only two days from the concert which is highlight of the season. The brilliant Argentinian pianist, Nelson Goerner, whom we have been trying to bring to Vancouver for many years, will play a very demanding program, including Beethoven's Hammerklavier, one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. This Sonata tests every aspect of pianists' art more than any other of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. Goerner has just played this program last Sunday for the Frederic Chopin Society in Minneapolis and their Facebook post is telling us everything: "How do you say thank you to a great artist for the concert of a lifetime? By the end of the 'Hammerklavier,' we were speechless!". According to the Artistic Director, Tadeusz Majewski, there is a lack of words to describe how great this interpretation was.

One of our Facebook fans wrote to us: " A truly great pianist I discovered one day during a radio broadcast dedicated to Thierry de Brunhoff. The radio host tried to speak with him, but as a monk, he has chosen a life of silence and could not be interviewed, he just requested that we listen to music played by Nelson Goerner."

Nelson Goerner’s new Schumann disc is BBC Music Magazine’s Recording of the Month for March 2015. Jessica Duchen’s 5-star review lauds Goerner's “delicacy, good sense, beauty of tone and rapt atmospheres”.

A wine reception will follow the concert and we will reveal the incredible artist lineup for the 2015-2016 season.
