The New York Times

In a career spanning more than 5 decades, legendary pianist Robert Silverman has graced Canada with his immeasurable talent.

This concert takes place the week of Silverman’s 80th birthday, and we invite you to join in the celebration. It’s an evening that promises gorgeous music in a friendly, celebratory environment with one of the greats playing a few of his favourites.

Seattle Times calls him a “pianistic genius” and the Toronto Star says, “surely he is one of the country’s finest pianists.”

He’ll be performing an all-Chopin evening. Mark your calendars!

This concert has been generously sponsored by Lynda and Richard Spratley.
