We are thrilled to welcome back GRAMMY Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann, praised as “a pianist of sterling artistry” (Gramophone). Since her Music TORONTO debut in 2022, she has been named the inaugural Christel DeHaan Artistic Partner of the American Pianists Association and received the Sphinx Medal of Excellence. She continues to captivate audiences with her passionate interpretations and compelling presence on stage.

This program explores the intertwined lives and works of Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann, and Johannes Brahms—three composers whose deep artistic and personal connections shaped the Romantic era. Through dazzling virtuosity and poetic expression, Michelle brings their music to life, illuminating the emotions and inspirations behind their masterpieces.

Clara Schumann
Variations on a Theme of Robert Schumann, Op. 20

Johannes Brahms
Eleven Variations on an Original Theme in D major, Op. 21, No. 1

Robert Schumann
Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 14

Fierbois Duo

Known for their joyful and electrifying performances, pianist Madeline Hildebrand and oboist Caitlin Broms-Jacobs have been fast friends and musical collaborators since 2014. Their thrilling interchange of musical ideas is instantly apparent in their performances, which are infused with free-spirited warmth and ease of expression. Fierbois was the name of the sword of Joan of Arc. An iconic strong woman, she never used the sword to inflict harm, only to inspire. Fierbois means “proud wood” in Old French. Hear their beautiful arrangement of Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and works by Jocelyn Morlok, David Braid and Charles Koechlin.
