Bella Hall Calgary, Canada

Keys to a Good Life. Get ready for an unforgettable evening as Les Amateurs virtuoses Piano Festival makes its highly anticipated North American debut! In collaboration with Les Amateurs virtuoses
and the Calgary Civic Symphony, this event brings together some of the most extraordinary amateur pianists for a concert like no other. These international competition-winning artists have pursued successful careers outside of music performance, yet they continue to perform at the highest level, proving that passion and talent know no boundaries.

This event presents a unique opportunity to get to know these artists at
an artistic level, as well as a human level. Performances by the pianists will be interspersed with intimate conversations with an illustrious panel of renowned moderators from education and the arts. Dive deep into their inspiring stories, explore their unique double lives, and hear firsthand how they balance the pursuit of excellence in both music and their non-musical careers. This is more than just a concert – it’s an opportunity for dialogue, inspiration, and connection.

Whether you’re a student curious about blending your passions, an aspiring musician seeking to follow your dreams while juggling other pursuits, or simply a lover of beautiful music, this event is not to be missed! Proceeds from this concert will be used to support scholarships and bursaries for Conservatory students.

Past Performances

Anyone who dares to play Beethoven's last Piano Sonata Opus 111 must be fearless and confident in his skills. In the case of Thomas Yu, both are true...[He] plays the piece with elegance and depth...and his interpretation was the highlight of the festival day.
