The first Come to the Concert class of the semester will be a piano-lover’s delight that presents not one but both of the piano concertos of Frédéric Chopin. Of the few works that Chopin wrote for piano with orchestra, these two are the best known and most frequently heard—but seldom in the same programme. What a treat! As much, if not more of a treat is that the soloist is local piano virtuoso Jaeden Izik-Dzurko from Salmon Arm, who this year won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition. [In addition, he will be giving two solo recitals on September 24 and 25.] This class will also examine the concert’s other composition namely Three Autumn Scenes by the BC composer and teacher Christine Donkin.
