About the Event<\/h3>\n

Described as \u201cthe latest phenomenon of the Russian piano school\u201d (<\/span>Corriere della Sera<\/span><\/i>), Alexander Malofeev came to international prominence when, in 2014, he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at age 13. Reviewing the performance, <\/span>Amadeus<\/span><\/i> noted, \u201cContrary to what could be expected of a youngster \u2026 he demonstrated not only high technical accuracy but also an incredible maturity. Crystal clear sounds and perfect balance revealed his exceptional ability.\u201d Since this triumph, Malofeev has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the Tchaikovsky Competition, he has won numerous prizes, including the Grand Prix of the International Competition for Young Pianists Grand Piano Competition and second prize at the first China International Music Competition. In 2017 Malofeev became the first Young Yamaha Artist. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, Malofeev recorded Tchaikovsky\u2019s First Piano Concerto with the Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra and Alexander Sladkovsky for Sony Classical\u2019s Tchaikovsky 2020 boxset.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            About the Event<\/span><\/h3>\n

            When Canadian Brass formed in 1970, it immediately set itself apart from all other performing artists through the relentless search for repertoire that was both loved by its performers and embraced by a growing brass audience. <\/span>Toronto Star <\/span><\/i>has praised Candian brass, writing \u201cNothing proclaims celebration and festivity like the sound of brass instruments. And if those instruments are played by Canadian Brass, there is even greater cause for celebration.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            This holiday season Canadian Brass will be bringing just that, a night of full of Christmas classics loved by both performers and the audience, including \u201cYou\u2019re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,\u201d \u201cA Charlie Brown Christmas,\u201d and \u201cCarol of the Bells\u201d during this special Making Spirits Bright<\/em> concert.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Described as \u201ca pianist whose probing, incisive, and deeply considered performances are consistently challenging and rewarding\u201d (<\/span>San Francisco Classical Voice<\/span><\/i>), Johnathan Biss is a world<\/span>–<\/span> renowned pianist who channels his deep musical curiosity into performances and projects in the concert hall and beyond.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Biss\u2019s endeavors represent his complete approach to music-making<\/span>,<\/span> and desire to imbue audiences with his own passion for music. Previous projects include<\/span>d<\/span> an exploration of composers’ \u201clate style\u201d in various concert programs at Carnegie Hall, the Barbican Centre, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, and San Francisco Performances. He also gave master<\/span> classes at Carnegie Hall and published the Kindle <\/span>s<\/span>S<\/span>ingle <\/span>Coda <\/span><\/i>on the topic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            This program pairs one of the last three sonatas of Schubert\u2014works which address the mysteries of life and death, and do so unflinchingly and with astonishing beauty\u2014with a newly commissioned work by a composer of color. The intention is not to suggest a particular connection between the old and new works<\/span>;<\/span>:<\/span> it is to show that one can immerse oneself in the greatest music of the past and work to ensure that the present and future are more just, and richer for it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
