Concert Announcment
Edmonton Chamber Music Society regrets to announce that the upcoming concert with pianist Dénes Várjon which was scheduled on for March 23 has been cancelled due to illness.
We are pleased however to be able to present award winning pianist Sheng Cai in concert on March 23, at Robertson Wesley United Church. Since his debut with the Toronto Symphony at just fifteen years old, Sheng Cai has since performed a broad spectrum of concerto repertoire, and on March 23rd will be performing works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Isaac Albéniz, Ernesto Lecuona, and Franz Liszt.
Edmonton Chamber Music Society will honour current Dénes Várjon tickets for the Sheng Cai concert. You may also contact us by phone at 780-433–4532 or by email at ecms@edmontonchambermusic.org for more information on tickets.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your understanding.
