Yoav Levanon’s rise to international fame only a few years ago caused a sensation far and wide on the musical globe. In what will be his first Canadian performance—a Lanaudière exclusive—this prodigious young pianist, barely twenty years of age and a protégé of Daniel Barenboim, will draw us into a world in which technical skill and interpretive finesse become as one, in a recital pairing the rigour of Bach with the reputedly insurmountable difficulties of Liszt and Chopin etudes.
