This year, 2019, is the first of a three-year project to celebrate the life of the great Ludwig van Beethoven. Denis Brott comments: \u201cAs a result of a unique alignment of musical stars in 2020 \u2013 Ludwig\u2019s 250th birthday and the Festival\u2019s 25th anniversary \u2013 I have put together Beethoven Chez Nous! Spanning a period of three years, the Festival programming will be unlike any Montreal has ever heard. Each of the 2019, 2020 and 2021 Festivals will feature significant cycles of complete works by Beethoven, some with a very special twist! The music of Beethoven reveals seemingly endless musical treasures. Not only is Beethoven perhaps the greatest classical composer of all time, he also wrote the most chamber music, perfected the string quartet form, and single-handedly transitioned classical music from the Classical to the Romantic era.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Highlights of this year\u2019s programme are two complete surveys: the Beethoven Violin Sonatas performed over three evenings by 2019 Grammy winner James Ehnes and pianist Andrew Armstrong; and the Beethoven Symphonies Nos. 1-9 as transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt, over five concerts, with six outstanding pianists from across Canada and the world. The Festival opens with a very special treat for audiences, the Montreal premiere of a new show by Gregory Charles, an exuberant survey of the past 250 years in music, across all genres. This year\u2019s Festival also proudly showcases Joseph Kaiser, the extraordinary Metropolitan Opera tenor from Montreal, the best young talent from across the country in BMO Hottest Classical Artists Under 30!, a series of free noon-hour concerts, and a special hommage to Albert Millaire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Opening Night! Gregory Charles presents the Montreal Premiere of L\u2019Air du Temps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Festival opens on Friday, June 7 at 8 p.m. at Pollack Hall with the phenomenal Quebec pianist and entertainer Gregory Charles in the Montreal premiere of l\u2019Air du Temps. The new show is a bilingual look back on the past 250 years of Western music, from Baroque to hip-hop and from the French Revolution to the digital revolution. Don\u2019t miss this rare opportunity for a one-of-a-kind evening with the most passionate troubadour of our time!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas with James Ehnes &amp; Andrew Armstrong<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_379149\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-379149\" class=\"size-large wp-image-379148\" src=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/s9CNKzog.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-379149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Festival is thrilled to welcome back star violinist James Ehnes, who first performed at the Festival at age 17, to perform the Beethoven Violin Sonatas with his long-time musical partner, pianist Andrew Armstrong. Ehnes is the 2019 winner of a Grammy Award for Best Classical Recording. Over the course of three evenings at Salle Bourgie (June 13, 14 and 15 at 8 p.m.), the duo will perform all ten of Beethoven\u2019s magnificent violin sonatas. Reviewing their recording of Sonatas Nos. 6 &amp; 9 for Onyx Classics, The Guardian praised their \u201clight touch and searing focus \u2026 [the]generosity of this duo speaks volumes \u2026\u201d and Gramophone, in an Editor\u2019s Choice review said, \u201cEhnes and Armstrong are stunningly responsive in the finale, with a sense of propulsion, yet without overlooking its moments of delicacy \u2026 A compelling addition to Ehnes and Armstrong&#8217;s remarkable discography.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The Complete Beethoven Symphonies Transcribed for Piano by Franz Liszt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The genius of Franz Liszt, the greatest piano virtuoso of the 19th century, has allowed us to experience<br \/>\nthe Beethoven Symphonies in a completely new way. Liszt\u2019s astonishing transcriptions, among the<br \/>\nmost technically demanding piano music ever written, give pianists the opportunity to reproduce the<br \/>\ntexture and grandeur of Beethoven\u2019s unique symphonic works. In a Montreal premiere, the Festival<br \/>\npresents the complete nine symphonies over five late-afternoon concerts at Salle Bourgie, June 11<br \/>\nthrough 15. The Festival is thrilled to present six outstanding pianists over the five concerts:<br \/>\nAlexander Ullman, First Prize winner of the 2017 Liszt International Piano Competition; Jocelyn<br \/>\nLai; Carlos Avila; Richard Raymond; and David Jalbert and Wonny Song in a duo piano<br \/>\nperformance of Beethoven\u2019s 9th symphony. All concerts take place at 5 p.m. and include a<br \/>\ncomplimentary glass of wine!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metropolitan Opera Tenor Joseph Kaiser in Two Programmes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Festival welcomes home tenor Joseph Kaiser, internationally-acclaimed for his beauty of tone and musical intelligence, who appears in two superb evenings of chamber music at Salle Bourgie. Masters in Performance on Tuesday, June 11 at 8 p.m. features Kaiser with Martin Beaver, former first violinist of the Tokyo Quartet; cellist Denis Brott; Israeli pianist Alon Goldstein, a returning Festival favourite; and the brilliant Danel Quartet from France, making their Festival premiere. Repertoire includes Beethoven\u2019s Folk Songs for tenor and piano trio, the quintet for piano by Dvo\u0159\u00e1k, and the rarely-heard Weinberg String Quartet No. 5. This evening also includes an extraordinary discovery: the Canadian premiere of a new composition revealed in 2018 among a collection of manuscripts untouched since the war found at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. University of Michigan music professor Patricia Hall unearthed the heartbreakingly titled &#8220;The Most Beautiful Time of Life&#8221; (Die Sch\u00f6nste Zeit des Lebens) by Franz Grothe (1908-1982). Hall believes the piece, a popular fox trot of the day, was performed circa 1942 by prisoners in front of the commandant&#8217;s villa for Sunday concerts for the Auschwitz garrison. The Festival\u2019s tribute to vocal art continues on Wednesday, June 12 at 8 p.m., with Viva Voce featuring music by Brahms, Respighi, Richard Strauss, and Chausson. Joseph Kaiser is joined by mezzosoprano Jeanne Ireland, violinist Martin Beaver, pianist Alexander Ullman and the Danel Quartet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_379141\" style=\"width: 628px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-379141\" class=\"wp-image-379140\" src=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM-1024x699.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM-1024x699.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM-300x205.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM-600x410.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM-768x524.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8GYzgzqM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-379141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danel Quartet.

This re-enactment of Tchaikovsky\u2019s intimate letters with his patron Nadezhda von Meck is a fantastic synthesis of words and music performed in French and English by extraordinary Quebec actors Jean Marchand, Monique Miller, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Millaire Zouvi, and St\u00e9phanie Germain. In what has become a Festival tradition, this concert highlights the extraordinary winners of the 2018 Canada Council for the Arts Musical Instrument Bank Competition, this year led by the outstanding Canadian violinist Martin Beaver.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_379145\" style=\"width: 416px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-379145\" class=\" wp-image-379144\" src=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-672x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"406\" height=\"619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-672x1024.jpeg 672w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-300x457.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-600x915.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-197x300.jpeg 197w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire-768x1171.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/myscena.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Millaire.jpeg 1312w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-379145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Albert Millaire<\/p><\/div>\n<p>2019 Festival Schedule<br \/>\nFestival Tickets &amp; Information: 514.489.7444 or <a href=\"mailto:info@festivalmontreal.org\">info@festivalmontreal.org<\/a><br \/>\nFestival website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.festivalmontreal.org\">www.festivalmontreal.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE \u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af\u00af THE MONTREAL CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL PROUDLY PRESENTS BEETHOVEN CHEZ NOUS!
