SUMMARY:Marc-André Hamelin & Charles Richard-Hamelin
DESCRIPTION:Pianists Marc-André Hamelin and Charles Richard-Hamelin come together for a duo piano performance featuring works by Mozart\, Chopin\, Gershwin\, and others.

GERSHWIN/P. GRAINGER: Fantasy on Porgy and Bess \nMARC-ANDRÉ HAMELIN\, piano\nPianist Marc-André Hamelin is celebrated worldwide for his rare combination of profound musicianship and dazzling technique. Described by The New York Times as a “performer of near-superhuman technical prowess\,” he is equally admired for his interpretations of the core repertoire and for his fearless exploration of lesser-known works from the 19th\, 20th\, and 21st centuries. He performs regularly with leading orchestras and conductors and appears in recital at major concert halls and festivals around the globe. \n“A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess.” — The New York Times \nCHARLES RICHARD-HAMELIN\, piano\nSilver Medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman Prize at the 2015 International Chopin Piano Competition\, pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin has emerged as one of the most significant artists of his generation. A recipient of the Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Career Development Award from the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto\, he was awarded the Prix Denise-Pelletier in November 2022\, becoming the youngest recipient in the history of the Prix du Québec. \nAn active and sought-after chamber musician\, Richard-Hamelin has performed with artists including James Ehnes\, Andrew Wan\, Marie-Nicole Lemieux\, Marc-André Hamelin\, and with ensembles such as the Dover Quartet\, Apollon Musagète Quartet\, New Orford Quartet\, and Meccore Quartet. \nRichard-Hamelin has recorded eleven albums\, all released on the Analekta label. Five are devoted primarily to the solo piano music of Frédéric Chopin\, and additional recordings include collaborations with Andrew Wan and concerto recordings of both Chopin piano concertos with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal under Kent Nagano\, as well as Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 22 and 24 with Les Violons du Roy conducted by Jonathan Cohen. His recordings have earned six Félix Awards (ADISQ) and a JUNO Award in 2022.
