Mark Your Calendar, November 13, 2016

Charles Richard-Hamelin, silver medalist and laureate of the Krystian Zimerman award of the best sonata at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015 will play for our Society on November 13, 2016. He is the first Canadian to win a prize in this competition which takes place every five years and is considered one of the most difficult and prestigious competitions in the world. It was a very close race between him and Korean Seong-Jin Cho and according to jury members, the result could have gone either way. I had the opportunity to attend the Competition this year, and my reflection on my experience will be posted on vanclassicalmusic.com in the coming week.

GivingTuesday

GivingTuesday is coming to Canada on December 1, 2015. We ask you to participate in the opening day of the giving season. Please help our Society- a registered charity which runs on a voluntary basis with no administration cost, so that your every dollar goes to concert expenses. Our branded donation page is handled by CanadaHelps including automatic tax-receipting. You can donate here.

The AGM

The Annual General Meeting of the Vancouver Chopin Society will be held on Tuesday, Dec 8 at 7:00 pm in room 22A at the Vancouver Academy of Music, 1270 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, B.C.

Krystian Zimerman has a great message for students

When Krystian Zimerman was awarded with an honorary doctorate by the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in October 2015 in Warsaw, he made a short speech to students of the Music University. Below is a link to Chopin Courier where you can find his speech on the last page.
