Brian Dickinson has been a fixture on the Canadian jazz scene for over thirty-five years. He has performed internationally with artists including Lee Konitz, Jerry Bergonzi,  Michael and Randy Brecker, Pat LaBarbera, Kirk MacDonald, Kenny Wheeler and John Abercrombie. He is a multiple JUNO award winner. As a sideman, he has played on over eighty recordings. For the past two years, he has been an active member of the Canadian Jazz Collective, touring and recording in Europe and North America.

The Penderecki String Quartet, approaching the third decade of an extraordinary career, has become one of the most celebrated chamber ensembles of their generation. These four musicians from Poland, Canada and the USA bring their varied yet collective experience to create performances that demonstrate their “remarkable range of technical excellence and emotional sweep” (Globe and Mail). Their recent schedule has included concerts in New York (Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall), Amsterdam (Concertgebouw), Los Angeles (REDCAT at Disney Hall), St. Petersburg, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Rome, Belgrade, Zagreb, and Atlanta, as well as appearances at international festivals in Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Venezuela, Brazil and China. They are in their 20th year as Quartet-in-Residence at Wilfrid Laurier University. See the Penderecki String Quartet with Brian Dickinson on Sunday September 20.
