Experience the exhilarating artistry of two of our country’s most renowned pianists, David Jalbert and Charles Richard-Hamelin, as they come together for an extraordinary concert featuring two pianos and four hands. This wonderful program showcases the virtuosity and synergy of these artists through Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s radiant Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, and Sergei Rachmaninov’s spirited “Russian Rhapsody.” Richard-Hamelin and Jalbert enchant with their four-hand mastery of Franz Schubert’s passionate Allegro in A minor, ‘Lebensstürme,’ the evocative Andantino varié from his “Divertissement sur des motifs originaux français,” and his mesmerizing Fantaisie in F minor. Named by the CBC as one of the 15 best Canadian pianists of all time, David Jalbert is a virtuoso with a warm, elegant style and a wide-ranging repertoire who has established himself among the elite of his generation of classical musicians. Among countless accomplishments, Canadian pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin has recorded more than ten albums earning him several Prix Félix honours and a JUNO Award. His performances routinely receive widespread acclaim from critics and audiences worldwide.
