2025 Honens Gold Laureate Élisabeth Pion returns for her first post-Competition appearance in Calgary! ~Damon Johnston, Artistic Director
Her program shares a glimpse of Élisabeth’s musical voice, which captivated juries and listeners alike, by pairing the elegance and imagination of Hélène de Montgeroult (a pioneering French composer whose music bridges Classical technique with early-Romantic expressivity) with the dramatic virtuosity of Franz Liszt’s celebrated transcriptions of Schubert Lieder. As one of Canada’s most compelling young artists, Élisabeth brings the emotional landscapes of these works vividly to life at the piano.
This Concert is a proud Performing Arts Community Co-Presentation with Honens and is generously sponsored by the Nickle Family Foundation.
