“Queyras performs as he breathes … he brings the universe to the end of his bow.”
— Le Devoir

“For many, he is among the greatest pianists of his generation.”
— Vancouver Classical Music

Two of France’s most beloved musicians mark three decades together with a repertoire from Renaissance inspirations to modernism. The first half of this memorable concert will conclude with the gorgeous Brahms Cello Sonata in E Minor, Op. 38, while the second half journeys through works by Schubert, Britten, Fauré, Debussy, Brahms, and more.
