Fri Sep 26, 7:30pm | Renowned for his poetic touch and commanding presence, Charles Richard-Hamelin is one of Canada’s most celebrated classical pianists. A silver medalist at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize, he has since performed with major orchestras around the world under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Kent Nagano, Vasily Petrenko, and more. His award-winning recordings—twelve to date—have been widely praised for their nuance and emotional clarity. In 2022, he received the Prix Denise-Pelletier, Quebec’s highest honour in the performing arts. Whether interpreting Chopin or the broader Romantic repertoire, his performances deliver “soulful virtuosity and breathtaking restraint” —an exquisite evening with a pianist at the height of his powers.
