A lecture and solo recital by internationally acclaimed concert pianist Bruce Vogt is what’s in store for those attending Music on Sunday at The Old School House Arts Centre (TOSH).
The special Franz Liszt Bicentenary Concert II, titled “Franz Liszt: Spiritual Visions” will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 on Nov. 13.
Among the elite of Canadian pianists, Vogt is a unique and dynamic performer appearing regularly in concert where he has inspired audiences world wide.
During a recent tour of Germany, Vogt’s performance was reviewed as “technical perfection paired with emotional expressiveness.”
Vogt’s repertoire is extremely diverse, encompassing music from the sixteenth century to the present. He has consistently championed the music of contemporary composers, and has commissioned and premiered a number of new works by such Canadian luminaries as Murray Adaskin and Alfred Fisher. He is also an enthusiastic and dedicated performer on period instruments: his latest recording, released in the fall of 2003, features music of Robert Schumann performed on a restored 1864 Erard.
In addition to his career as a piano soloist, chamber musician and recording artist, Vogt is also Professor at the University of Victoria, where he is head of the Piano Department.
Music lovers will get to hear the internationally acclaimed concert pianist on Sunday, Nov. 13 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at The Old School House Arts Centre, 122 Fern Road West, in Qualicum Beach.
Vogt’s lecture will be at 1:30 p.m. Admission is $16. For details, phone 250-752-6133 or visit www.theoldschoolhouse.org.
