| Montreal Chamber Music Festival at St George's Church, Montreal, QC, 1101 Rue Stanley, Montreal H3B 2S2, Canada Friday 24-May-13 08:00pm Eldar Djangirov... Three Stories This third concert in our TD Jazz series features the outstanding New York based pianist Eldar Djangirov. Eldar came to the Festival last year for his first ever concert in Montreal and blew us all away with his amazing dexterity and sophisticated musical choices. He’s back and this time in a solo performance that we know will sell out. Based on his recent CD titled Three Stories, Eldar will offer us standards, original works and classical selections ranging from Bach to Gershwin to Corea to Prokofiev to Radiohead. He’s been described as the next Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck called him a genius beyond question.
Don’t believe me? Go to his home page, scroll down and watch the video of his performance here last year. Don’t hesitate, don’t wait or you’ll be disappointed. Eldar’s back but for one night only! | ||

His elegance, his refinement, his pianistic style are legendary and we are proud to be able to offer him in concert over two nights. His chosen repertoire will be French as he touches four of France’s greatest composers: Ravel, Debussy, Fauré and César Franck.
The first evening of his two concert series offers two works by Ravel and one by César Franck. To begin the evening, David Jalbert joins Collard in a performance of the original version of the Mother Goose Suite. Ravel’s String Quartet in F major follows in a presentation by the Cecilia String Quartet and after the intermission, you will hear César Franck’s Piano Quintet featuring Collard and the Cecilia in what has been called a work of ecstasy and unconstrained sensuality. | ||

| Montreal Chamber Music Festival at St George's Church, Montreal, QC, 1101 Rue Stanley, Montreal H3B 2S2, Canada Saturday 1-Jun-13 06:00pm Everybody loves Tchaikovsky - 4 hour Marathon Once again we celebrate the end of a fabulous Festival that has featured outstanding performances and tremendous audiences. To close out the season we offer you a marathon double concert of Tchaikovsky, the great Russian romantic who gave us some of the most beloved and often-played music in the world, including the 1812 Overture and the fabulous Nutcracker. Tonight we offer something more intimate but equally outstanding, his chamber music.
Tchaikovsky’s music was played at the inauguration of Carnegie Hall and will bring our Festival to an end but not before we hear his first String Quartet, his Piano Trio, his Souvenir de Florence, a very special performance of a transcription for piano of the Scherzo from Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony by teen sensation Conrad Tao and, to close the season, his Serenade for Strings. Many of this season’s artists will be back to take a bow and, with their final notes, offer us a marvelous way to bring the 18th season to a close. Thank you all for making this the best season ever and see you next year!
