Thanks, there is one on Dec.19, I will post it later.

202020

the next upcoming concert in our series of free musical offerings in Verdun. This Saturday, December 19th, at 7:30, we will have a very special piano recital, featuring movements for the "Nutcracker Suite" by P. I. Tchaikovsky, and other works for the piano by Rachmaninov and Bach.

This will be our first Russian-focusing program, and the repertoire has been specially programmed for the Christmas/Advent season. Pianist Maria Sourjko, originally from Russia, will give this special program in the fabulous and beautiful Church of Notre Dame des Sept Douleurs, corner of Wellington and eglise  in Verdun (Metro de l'église).

I do hope you will have the opportunity to hear her interpret this arrangement of Tchaikovsky's famous suite, rendered for the piano by the great Russian Pianist, Mikhail Pletnev. Pletnev made his wonderful arrangement for the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow, which he won in 1978. It is very difficult to play and rarely heard. Please bring your children and/or young family members to hear this delightful concert.

The concert is free, with proceeds going to the musicians of our series, and the doors open at 7pm. Hope to see you there!
