Pianist Meagan Milatz, recipient of the Prix Opus Discovery of the Year, and cellist Cameron Crozman, hailed by CBC Music as “Canada’s next big cello star,” make their highly anticipated duo debut in Halifax. Their program, a celebration of Romantic music, centers around Johannes Brahms’ two sonatas for cello and piano: the soulful Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38, and the radiant Sonata No. 2 in F Major, Op. 99. These towering masterpieces showcase Brahms’ depth of emotion and mastery of form, embodying the essence of German Romanticism. The program is enriched with David Popper’s Im Walde, Op. 50, which beautifully captures the serene and mystical qualities of the forest, and Erno Dohnányi’s Ruralia Hungarica, Op. 32d, a vivid portrayal of Hungarian folk life and traditions. Together, these pieces reflect the Romantic era’s fascination with nature and folk culture, promising an evening of profound musical exploration. Described by Le Devoir as a “simply ideal” partnership, Milatz and Crozman bring these works to life with passion and finesse. Season Sponsor: Jules Chamberlain / Red Door Realty.
