Jane Coop M.C.

Our hearty congratulations go out to pianist Jane Coop on receiving the Order of Canada on Dec 31.

Ms. Coop has had a long and distinguished career as a concert pianist and as an influential educator and mentor to many fine young Canadian musicians through her teaching post at UBC.

She has also long been a friend of ArtSpring, helping us select our fine Steinway B piano some eight years ago. At long last she will get to play the instrument she picked out for us at a concert at ArtSpring on February 26 in the company of the Afiara String Quartet. Tickets are still available. There will be a post-concert reception at which we can all congratulate her on the receipt of this important national honour.
