One of today’s most strikingly brilliant pianists, Bertrand Chamayou performs a program that highlights his mastery of the Romantic and French repertoires.
Chamayou has been recognised for his revelatory performances, at once powerfully virtuosic, imaginative and breathtakingly beautiful. A leading interpreter of French music, his vast repertoire includes major bodies of work such as the complete piano works of Ravel, Liszt’s Etudes and Années de pèlerinage , and Messiaen’s Vingt regards sur l’enfant-Jésus . He performs regularly with fellow musicians including cellist Sol Gabetta and is creating a Messiaen project with soprano-conductor Barbara Hannigan, with whom he performed in Koerner Hall in 2024.
Please join us! This concert is preceded by a short performance by talented students of The Royal Conservatory. Prelude Recital starts at 2pm .
