We just announced our 20th anniversary
season during which you will have the opportunity to hear not one,
but two, gold medalists, as well as a laureate from the International
Chopin Competition in Warsaw. As part of our contribution towards
celebrating Canada’s
150th birthday, we are giving you, our audience, a truly unique event,
presented
for the first time in North America. This will be an event that
allows us to
experience the folk music that sparked Chopin's creative genius. With
this performance, we
hope to help music lovers, teachers, and performers
obtain an insight into the interpretation of Chopin's music. You will
hear
specific characteristics of music from the Polish
countryside, music whose rhythm and essence were absorbed by young
Chopin and integrated
into his own creativity.
This
is a season you will not
want to miss!

Our season brochures have all been sent this week. If you are not
currently on our mailing list, or have not received a brochure by next
Friday, please let us know and we would be happy to send it to you. You
can also pick up a copy of the brochure at our upcoming recital this
Sunday, April 2nd, at 3:00 p.m., when Jean-Efflam Bavouzet will be
performing works by Haydn, Beethoven, Ravel and Debussy.
Bavouzet is one of today's best pianists, and he will be performing
works by composers close to his heart. He recently completed the
monumental task of recording all the Beethoven sonatas, and Volume 3 of
the recordings has been chosen RECORDING OF THE MONTH in December 2016
by the prestigious GRAMOPHONE magazine.
Both the new season brochure and ticket order form can be opened and
printed directly from our website.
Speaking of which, we at the Vancouver Chopin Society are excited with
the look of our society website! We also hope that you will love our
new logo, as we do! Visit
