1 / SEASONS ASCENDING
7.30pm, Wednesday, October 8
Crescent Arts Centre, 525 Wardlaw Ave.
Kerson Leong, violin/leader
A lively dance through the seasons celebrating the pastoral and jubilant beauty of nature featuring superstar Canadian violinist Kerson Leong, with Max Richter’s groundbreaking Seasons Recomposed as its centrepiece.
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).
