DIALOGUES ACROSS TIME
Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 8:00 p.m.
Cornell Recital Hall
3201 Bur Oak Ave., Markham ON L6B 0T2

Spanning more than two centuries of musical creativity, this recital showcases the artistry and individuality of a new generation of performers through a rich and varied program of masterworks for cello, violin, and piano. From the elegant architecture of Bach and Schubert to the poetic drama of Chopin, the impressionistic colours of Debussy, and the virtuoso brilliance of Wieniawski and Liszt, the program explores a wide spectrum of musical expression. Ligeti’s evocative Sonata for Solo Cello and Kapustin’s exhilarating fusion of classical and jazz idioms provide striking twentieth-century perspectives, while works by Beethoven and Schumann reveal the enduring power of the Romantic tradition. Together, these performances celebrate both the diversity of the classical repertoire and the remarkable talent of emerging artists.
