5 / GLASS REFLECTIONS: THE SEASONS

5 / GLASS REFLECTIONS: THE SEASONS
7:30pm, Wednesday, February 24
Crescent Arts Centre, 525 Wardlaw Ave.
Kerson Leong, violin
Anne Manson, conductor

The second part of our Philip Glass celebration features the return of one of Canada’s leading violinists in the sweeping lyricism and driving momentum of the Violin Concerto No. 2, bringing The American Four Seasons vividly to life.

Kerson Leong has been described as “not just one of Canada’s greatest violinists but one of the greatest violinists, period” (Toronto Star). Forging a unique path since his First Prize win at the International Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition in 2010, he continues to win over colleagues and audiences alike with “a mixture of spontaneity and mastery, elegance, fantasy, intensity that makes his sound recognizable from the first notes” (Le Monde).
