An accomplished pianist, Meagan
Milatz began her piano studies in
Saskatchewan at the age of five
with teacher Cherith Alexander.
She progressed very quickly,
completing her Performer’s ARCT
diploma at the age of only twelve.
Since then, Meagan has gained
much experience as both a soloist
and collaborator. She was named
the most outstanding competitor
in the Grand Awards Competition
at the Saskatchewan provincial
music festival in 2011. She
received second place at the
National Music Festival in 2009 and third place in 2011. In 2009, she
received second place in the ‘Piano Class B’ in the Orchestre
Symphonique de Montréal competition in Montréal. Meagan won first
place in her age category at the Canadian Music Competition in 2007,
and was then chosen to perform as soloist with the Sherbrooke
Symphony Orchestra. She again appeared with orchestra this past
January as winner of McGill University’s 2014 Classical Concerto
Competition, and is scheduled to appear with the Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra in 2015. In 2011, Meagan won first prize in the CFMTA
National Piano Competition, which came with the opportunity to perform
with the string members of the Gryphon Trio. She has also performed
with Andrew Wan, concertmaster of the Orchestre Symphonique de
Montréal, on several occasions. Meagan was recently awarded the top
prize at the 2014 Shean Piano Competition, also receiving the award for
best performance of the test piece. She is a recipient of a Developing
Artist Grant from the Hnatyshyn Foundation, and currently studies under
the direction of professor Ilya Poletaev at McGill University.
