Renowned Canadian concert pianist David Jalbert is returning to St. Catharines Friday, Nov. 16 as the next performer in the<\/span> Walker Cultural Leaders Series<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The performance will also open this year\u2019s<\/span> Encore! Professional Concert Series<\/span><\/a>, hosted by the Department of Music at Brock\u2019s Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA).<\/span><\/p>\n

Jalbert, who performs regularly as a soloist and recitalist across North America and Europe, last came to Brock as part of the MIWSFPA\u2019s<\/span> 2013 performance season<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A national and international prize-winner, he has won five Opus Awards, was nominated for three Juno Awards and was the 2007 laureate of the prestigious Virginia Parker Prize of the Canada Council for the Arts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Music Department Chair Matthew Royal said the accomplished performer will be a highlight to the School\u2019s 2018 event season, both for the public and music students alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have David Jalbert return to Brock to give a master class to our piano students, and to perform a solo piano recital,\u201d he said. \u201cHe is a superbly expressive pianist whose musicality and intelligence are supported by a flawless technique.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jalbert will perform in Partridge Hall of the FirstOntario Performing Art Centre, where attendees will be treated to a program of solo piano works by Bach, Schumann, Liszt and Faur\u00e9. The recital will conclude with a performance of Prokofiev\u2019s monumental Sonata No. 7, Op. 83, in B flat major.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe highlight of this concert will, I believe, be the Prokofiev 7th Piano Sonata,\u201d Royal noted. \u201cThis is one of those pieces that all pianists worth their salt must conquer at some point in their careers. I predict it will be a \u2018tour de force.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are available by contacting the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre Box Office at 905-688-0722 or <\/span>firstontariopac.ca<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
