Krzysztof Jablonski
A guest of the Dorothy Morton Visiting Artist Series, pianist Krzysztof Jablonski is a big catch. The 54-year-old Polish virtuoso was a laureate of the 1985 Frederic Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. Early in his career, he was a champion at international competitions in Milan, Palm Beach, Monza, Dublin, New York and Calgary, not to mention his gold medal at the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. Over the past three decades, Jablonski has been a soloist with many orchestras under the most eminent conductors – Gergiev, Boreyko, Semkow, Kaspszyk, Maksymiuk, Nowak, Brueggen, etc. – and has taken part in the International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv.

(CANCELLED) Beethoven’s chamber music at Bourgie Hall – Concert I
The 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth is the occasion for so many special programs around the world. Arte Musica offers us a superb selection of Beethoven, including the following series of chamber music concerts. The first program of this series offers us two trios. The first is the trio of three French virtuosos, violinist David Grimal, cellist Anne Gastinel and pianist Philippe Cassard, and the second is the Montreal trio of violinist Axel Strauss, violist Douglas McNabney and cellist Matt Haimovitz. Two trios and a quartet on the program, adding up to an intersection of perspectives. The two trios will also share the same stage on March 14, for another program.

(CANCELLED) Fennesz • Britton Powell • Eliza Kavtion
Austria’s Christian Fennesz released the album Agora on Touch in March 2019, then performed at the Suoni per il Popolo in June. The recording and concert were simply extraordinary, the sort of rare sound experiences from which one comes out transformed. Rich textural sediments with great saturation effects, digitally processed samples, electric guitars, effect pedals and other microvariations, there’s so much precious metals in the Fennesz mine for prospectors of horizontal music to extract. Total noise coexists perfectly with white noise, with the sharper frequencies and consonantly overlapping melodic scales. Needless to say, this concert by a master back in Montreal is an absolute must.
