EVOLUTION

August 23-31, 2024 / Prince Edward County

Founders & Directors Johannes Debus and Elissa Lee

“Change is the only constant in life.” 

— Heraclitus

This season, BIGLAKE curates refreshing concert programmes that explore
the evolution of various elements of music: how instruments evolved,
how musical form and language changed through the eras,
how a composer’s style changed,
and how a piece sounds in a different version.
 
 

We have matched every concert to a unique and befitting County location, enhancing the experience for audiences and artists alike.

BIGLAKE prides itself on bringing exceptional artists from around the globe, and this year we are very excited to welcome pianist Louis Lortie and Ilya Poletaev, violinists Timothy and Nikki Chooi, the Art of Time Ensemble and the COC Ensemble Studio, to name a few.

We are very excited to welcome three extremely talented young violinists from Hong Kong: Matthew Chin, Hiu-Sing Fan, and Pui Ying Wong. They represent some of Hong Kong’s brightest talents, performing all over the world as soloists and are members of Musicus Solists, a recently launched chamber orchestra that tours internationally.

BIGLAKE is proud to present these brilliant young talents to you, and we thank the Musicus Society for their generous and continuous support.
