An uncommon virtuoso with a sound palette of exquisite sensitivity: Blake Pouliot, winner of the OSM Manulife Competition in 2016, is the rising star of the young generation of Canadian violinists. In a programme that contrasts the dramatic intensity of Janáček and the peerless optimist of Mozart, Blake Pouliot’s violin also leads the dance to the unbridled, Gypsy-inspired rhythms of works by Bartók and Brahms.
