We kick off the festival with legendary Canadian pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico, a recent recipient of the Order of Canada.

A legend in her own right, she will perform a delightful selection of short works, or hidden gems of the piano repertoire.

The first half will celebrate works by women compoers, all very unique and different and the second half will feature brilliant unknown works that have a jazzy twist, begining with walzes and ending with tangos!

Kick off the 2025 festival with us, experience dazzling piano playing and hear a varied selection musical gems, ranging from edgy to poignant, all with a little twist!
