concert music has the power
to move you. The right
knowledge can deepen the
ability of this music to edify,
enlighten, and stir the soul.
This is a comprehensive,
accessible guide to how music
has mirrored Western history,
that will transform the
experience for novice and
long-time listeners alike.
How to Listen to Great Music
Habanera (from Carmen)
Georges Bizet
A Guide to Its History, Culture, and Heart
by RobeRT GReeNbeRG
Why Mahler? Why does his
music affect us in the way it
does? Norman Lebrecht, one
of the world’s most widely read
cultural commentators, has
been wrestling obsessively with
Mahler for half his life. Lebrecht
constructs a compelling new
portrait of Mahler as a man who
lived determinedly outside his
own times. Mahler was a maker
of our modern world.

The all-Canadian Afiara String Quartet offers performances
of “startling intensity” with a “powerful, keen-edged collective sound.” Winners of the Concert Artists Guild International
Competition, the Young Canadian Musicians Award, top prizes at
the Munich ARD International Music Competition and the Banff
International String Quartet Competition, where they also took the
Szekely Prize for the best performance of Beethoven, the Afiara
balances a lively interest in new works with deep insight into
core classical repertoire. In the 2010/11 season, the Afiara String
Quartet performs throughout North America and internationally.
They make a studio recording at the Bayerischer Rundfunk in
Munich, and return to the Glenn Gould School at Toronto’s Royal
Conservatory of Music as Visiting-Quartet-in-Residence.
Rich in history, piano duo Anagnoson & Kinton are entering a
remarkable fourth decade of performing. As The Ottawa Citizen
noted: “Anagnoson and Kinton’s playing is everything that duopiano playing should be.” This duo has enchanted audiences
throughout North America, Europe, China and Russia. In addition to performing with major Canadian orchestras, their nine CD
titles include works for two pianos, two pianos with orchestra, and
one piano-four hands. In 2006, a compilation CD titled ‘Stages’
celebrating their milestone 30th season was launched. James
Anagnoson is Dean of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould
School. Leslie Kinton is on the faculties of The Glenn Gould School
and the University of Western Ontario.

Macha Belooussova started her music studies in her hometown
of Yekaterinburg, Russia. She then studied with Vladimir Tropp at
The Gnessine Institute in Moscow where she obtained the Artist
Diploma in 1991. She went to Paris to study with Christian Ivaldi
at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris
(CNSMDP) while working as a concert artist. Macha Belooussova
now teaches chamber music at the CNSMDP. As the permanent
pianist with the French ensemble ‘Musique Oblique’, she recorded
a CD of the music of Franck and Chausson and one with the music
of Ravel. She travels around the world and has played in Carnegie
Hall and the Concertgebouw.
David Bourque has played clarinet and bass clarinet in the
Toronto Symphony Orchestra since 1983. Prior to his appointment to the TSO clarinet section, David played in the orchestras
of the Stratford Festival, the Canadian Opera Company and the
National Ballet of Canada. He plays regularly in the finest chamber
music festivals in the world, Festival of the Sound and the Ottawa
International Chamber Music Festival. David is considered one of
the finest bass clarinettists in North America and is Canada’s leading bassethorn player.
A prizewinner at the 1993 Naumburg competition and a recipient
of the 1996-97 Prix Opus, Yehonatan Berick is in high demand
internationally as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician (on violin
as well as on viola) and pedagogue. His busy concert schedule
has already taken him throughout North America, Europe and
Israel. Previously teaching at McGill University and the Eastman
School of Music, Yehonatan Berick is currently Professor of Violin
at the School of Music at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Yehonatan Berick currently plays on a violin by Honoré Derazy
Pere from 1852, and a viola by Stanley Kiernoziak from 2003.
Thrilling, manic, glorious, superbly sung and malevolently acted,
rich, powerful, elegant, soft-grained, and spine-tingling are but
a few of the epithets the media have used to describe Canadian
opera sensation Russell Braun. In concert, opera and recital,
the international stages of the world are his - whether it be the
Metropolitan Opera in New York, l’Opéra de Paris, the State Opera
in Vienna, the Lyric Opera in Chicago, the Los Angeles Opera, La
Scala in Milan, the Salzburg or the Glyndebourne Festival. His
powerful voice and commanding presence have given vigour to
such roles as Billy Budd, Prince Andrei, Figaro, Papageno, Count
Almaviva, Don Giovanni, Pelléas, and Eugene Onegin.
Chris Bezant was born in Thornhill, Ontario. Though immersed
in music throughout his life, he found his true calling when he first
heard the great Django Reinhardt. He has performed throughout Canada and Europe, and has had the privilege of connecting
with masters of the style throughout the world during his travels.
Currently, Chris lives in Toronto as a performer and composer. He
leads a swing band named the Hot Club of South-East Central,
and is a member of Safety In Numbers.
In 1999, young virtuosos from different cultures gathered around
a musical score for their fondness for chamber music. The specific sonority of the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, as well as
an extremely profound stylistic research is the result of this union.
Indeed, this group brings together six nationalities, each individual
bringing their own country’s cultural sensitivity, forging a fabulous
covenant between Asian discipline and European fantasy. The
Brussels Chamber Orchestra has been graciously honoured with
a residency at the prestigious institute of the Royal Conservatoire
of Brussels.
Born into a musical Romani (Gypsy) family in Nyiregyhaza,
Hungary, the mainly self-taught Robi Botos began his musical
career when he was just a child, playing drums, and percussion
with his father and two brothers. It was at age seven when Robi
first took up piano, the instrument he has since mastered and
with which he has made his mark. Robi’s notable performances
include: Concert at the Long Beach Entertainment Centre, opening concert for Bela Fleck, Stanley Clark, and Jean Luc Ponty, at
the 2005 International Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival. As well
Robi opened for Oscar Peterson at the prestigious Stravinsky hall
