Additional Information

On May 16, British-Columbian Jaeden Izik-Dzurko became the first Canadian to win top honors at a piano-dedicated edition of the Montreal International Musical Competition.

With several concert series scheduled over the coming months, not to mention his participation in the Leeds International Piano Competition in the UK this September, the Salmon Arm-born pianist is already enjoying a very active and burgeoning career. We caught up with him at his home a few weeks ago to talk about his experience and journey at the Montreal competition, and the projects that lie ahead.
