Experience the brilliance of Daniel Vnukowski as he brings Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 to life on Saturday, March 29 at the Living Arts Centre. Do not miss this electrifying performance of one of Beethoven’s most iconic works.
Hailed as “a pianist to watch” by New York Classical Review and “a dashing pianist” by The Sunday Times, Polish-Canadian pianist Daniel Vnukowski (pronounced Vnoo-koff’-skee) has performed throughout Europe, North America, South America and Asia in prestigious concert halls. These have included large-scale concerts for crowds in the thousands and outreach recitals for youth in remote communities throughout Canada as a founder of the Piano Six – New Generation program. He is also the founder and Artistic Director of the Collingwood Music Festival.
The music of interwar Jewish composers also occupies a special place in Mr. Vnukowski’s repertoire, which resulted in a sold-out Carnegie Hall recital debut in a program that included Karol Rathaus’ Piano Sonata No. 3 not heard in New York since 1929; and released an all-Rathaus recording of solo piano music on the Toccata label. Vnukowski’s virtual performances have made waves internationally, reaching over half a million viewers. His performances have been endorsed by Fazioli Pianoforte and featured on NPR Radio, Classical FM, Ludwig Van Toronto, and BBC Music Magazine, among other media.
Since November 1, 2021, Mr. Vnukowski has been radio announcer of the Classical Jukebox on the New Classical FM, the only full-time classical radio station in English-speaking Canada.
