Free Summer Concert with The Kessler Academy
About this Event
Presented with Music on Main
Langley Community Music School and Music on Main are delighted to present The Kessler Academy String Orchestra to the community at this free summer concert!
Rising young string professionals and advanced students take to the Rose Gellert Hall Stage with the Microcosmos Quartet and celebrated pianist Spartak Margarya to perform repertoire inspired by Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, and the sun.
Following a week-long mentorship program of intensive rehearsals, young professional string players share great music by Benjamin Britten, Igor Stravinsky, and Alfred Schnittke.
Benjamin Britten’s Apollo is exuberant and virtuosic, while Igor Stravinsky’s Apollon Musagète, the composer’s first collaboration with choreographer George Balanchine, exemplifies the elegance and rhythmic precision of neoclassicism.
The concert also features Alfred Schnittke’s Piano Concerto, performed by pianist Spartak Margaryan. Praised for his “strongly defined personality” and “exceptional refinement,” Margaryan is widely regarded as one of the most promising pianists of his generation, bringing extraordinary depth and artistry to everything he plays.
Join us in supporting the stars of tomorrow with performances that promise an unforgettable afternoon of inspiration and musical discovery.
The concert will take place in the intimate setting of the Rose Gellert Hall at 4899 207 St, Langley City, BC, V3A 2E4. No registration is required, admission is FREE, and everyone is welcome to join us for this perfect afternoon of great music making!
The Kessler Academy is generously sponsored by Eileen Mate, and is also supported by The Greygates Foundation, held at the Vancouver Foundation.
