Bridge & Wolak, Accordion and Clarinet (September 11-27, 2020)
An internationally acclaimed duo, these artists are pushing the limits of their instruments and musical styles into the 21st Century. With deft virtuosity and endless wit, they perform a uniquely orchestrated repertoire of classical, world, and jazz fusion. “Watch and be amazed!” (CBC).
Thalea String Quartet (October 9-25, 2020)
Formed in 2014, the quartet is dedicated to bringing timeless music to audiences from all walks of life. They have taken their “vibrant performance” and “sincere expressivity” (S.F. Classical Voice) across Europe and North America. Atlantic Canada is next!
Kevin Ahfat, Piano (November 6-22, 2020)
As a pianist that “leaves no question about his riveting presentation and technical finesse” (Seattle Times), this artist has a “bold, boundary pushing, millennial style matched by refined execution” (Vanguard Seattle)—praise that is supported by winning three prizes at the 79th Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal / Manuvie Compeition.
Aronian & Crozman, Violin and Cello (February 12-28, 2021)
Two powerhouse soloists join forces to create a duo that cannot be missed! Respectively praised for “balancing emotional weight and technical virtuosity” (Cultural Spot L.A.) and “a profound musical imagination” (Toronto Concert Reviews), Aronian and Crozman are poised to dazzle the East Coast.
Regard Persan, Tanbour, Gheychak, Kamanche, and Percussion (March 12-28, 2021)
Bridging the gap between tradition and modernity, this dynamic trio of Irano-Canadian musicians creates music that is aurally timeless. The innovative ensemble, based in Montreal, explores the sounds of Persian music through each member’s respective instrument.
