Back by popular demand! Powerhouse pianist Shoshana Telner returns to the Blueridge Festival with a program of profound emotion and mindboggling virtuosity. Liszt's diabolical Piano Sonata sets the stage for a rare complete performance of Chopin's exquisitely lyrical but blazingly difficult Four Ballades. Also featured is the Canadian premiere of Russian-American composer Vera Ivanova's rhapsodic In the Deep Heart's Core, based on poetry by Akhmatova, Hesse, and Yeats.
Program:
Vera Ivanova: In the Deep Heart's Core
Franz Liszt: Piano Sonata in b minor
Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata op. 10 no. 2
Chopin: Ballades no. 1 to 4
Featuring:
Shoshana Telner
Canadian pianist Shoshana Telner has performed across Canada and abroad. Described as "an authentic musician with a sparkling technique" (Le Droit) and "full of fire and warmth" (the New York Times), Shoshana has a passion for engaging audiences with exciting performances. She made her solo orchestral début with the National Arts Centre Orchestra at the age of 16 and has since performed as soloist with several orchestras including the Québec Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Classical Orchestra, and the National Academy Orchestra.
Shoshana has performed at numerous summer festivals including the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, the Elora Festival, the Kincardine Summer Music Festival, the Brott Music Festival, and the Blueridge Chamber Music Festival. She has been awarded honors at the International Stepping Stone Competition, the Esther Honens International Piano Competition and the Canadian Concerto Competition. Shoshanas recordings include solo works of Canadian composer Colin Mack (CanSona), the Grieg violin/piano sonatas with Jeremy Bell (Chestnut Hall Music), Mozart Sonatas and Sonatinas (The Mozart Effect) and the six Bach
Keyboard Partitas (Centaur Records).
Shoshana received a Bachelor's degree on full scholarship from Boston University, a Master's degree from the Juilliard School in New York, and a Doctorate in performance from McGill University. She has taught piano and coached ensembles at McGill University, the University of Ottawa, Wilfrid Laurier University, and currently teaches piano at McMaster University. She frequently gives masterclasses,
adjudicates competitions, and examines for the Royal Conservatory of Music.
About Blueridge:
Hailed as "not afraid to take some pretty big chances," and an event where "musical excellence is assured," the Blueridge Chamber Music Festival offers innovative programming, dazzling artists, and unforgettable performances in a relaxed summer setting. Now celebrating its 10th season, Blueridge presents a dynamic professional concert series alongside a one-of-a-kind academy for gifted young musicians. The North Shore News calls it "not what people usually expect from a chamber music festival."
