Special promotion for all subscribers
One of the music teachers visiting us from
US, said right after Switala’s recital in Vancouver in 2007 that he had
not heard Chopin played like this since Horowitz. “That night the piano
was singing,” Lloyd Dykk wrote in the Vancouver Sun. We were not
surprised to hear this as we know that he is one of the best living
Chopinists. Switala gained major notoriety in 1990 when he withdrew in
the third stage of the Warsaw Chopin Competition. It is rumored that he
had the highest score up to this stage and everybody expected him to
win. Many years later he divulged that even if he won he could not
imagine playing as many recitals as today’s competition winners are
required to play. He plays around 20-30 recitals per year, all of which
are considered legendary by many of the world’s most distinguished
critics. Please read the excellent interview with him provided in the
news section, where he talks about the Chopin Competition and Chopin
music in general.
As this is our 15th Anniversary season, we
are going to make many special offers for our subscribers all season
long. For the
opening concert, we are offering two tickets for $40 which is $20 per

Following the last recital, there will be a
