Roy Thomson Hall presents
Gabriela Montero, piano
Admission: $39.50
|
One part virtuosic classical pianist, one part devilish interpreter
and one part playful improvisor, Gabriela Montero left the audience
awestruck at her Toronto debut in 2007. She now returns for two
special nights at Glenn Gould Studio.
This is a Share
the Music event.

Amici Chamber Ensemble presents
Poulenc’s musings
Pre-Concert Chat hosted by Keith Horner, 7:30 pm
Admission: $45, $40 Seniors, $10 Students
 |
Dedicating a whole evening to Francis Poulenc’s
chamber music seemed like a wild idea at first. But the temptation
of playing his famous Sextet with the brilliant TSO wind principals
and presenting his “Story of Babar” for piano and a
surprise prominent guest as narrator was just too great. An evening
for 9 to 90 year-olds.

This last concert of the TLCA’s 50th season is dedicated
to the works of this association’s founder, Latvian-Canadian
composer, Talivaldis Kenins. It is a celebration of the successful
seed he planted back in 1959 and the contribution he made to the
musical life of his adopted country. It is fitting that the program
features some of Canada’s finest musicians, among them Tali’s
colleagues (and some former students) performing works that represent
his long and prolific career including the Cello Sonata which was
his graduation piece for the Paris Conservatoire and won him the
prestigious Premier Prix in 1950. Also on the program are works
for unaccompanied violin, a work featuring the clarinet, the first
Piano Sonata (1961), his Concertante for flute and piano (1966)
and the Piano Quintet from 1994.
