Projects

“Pianist Vnukowski revives music of a neglected composer in impressive Carnegie debut…this assertive, fearlessly virtuosic Chopin style was filled with thoughtful exploration and a kind of questioning illumination. For his insight and daring, no less than his advocacy of a forgotten compatriot composer, Vnukowski is a pianist to watch!”

– Linda Holt, New York Classical Review

“He didn’t simply play. He engaged.”

– William Littler, Toronto Star

“Vnukowski communicates the emotions within the music. I was moved at several points throughout the recital.”

– Myron Silberstein, Fanfare Magazine

“These technically demanding works are played to the hilt by the Polish-Canadian Daniel Vnukowski.”

– Bruno Repp, American Record Guide

“A virtuoso pianist…Vnukowski plays with sympathetic understanding.”

– Phillip Scott, Limelight Magazine

THANK YOU!!! It was amazing to perform with these amazing musicians once again Paganini Ensemble Vienna

Last night our annual Spring Fundraiser Concert at the beautiful Breakers House was a huge success. The musicians played their hearts out to a standing ovation. Organizers are thrilled that tickets for the fundraiser raised over $26,000 to further our mission of bringing exceptional, memorable and diverse music experiences to the South Georgian Bay area each summer, as well as expanding our second year of FREE youth programs. On behalf of our festival, artistic director Daniel Vnukowski conveys his deep gratitude to our generous supporters, staff, volunteers, and sponsors:

“It was a magnificent event and an auspicious start for our festival’s new concert grand piano. We could feel the presence of our former board member Margaret Bridgman in the room that night, for whom the piano was lovingly donated. We are extremely grateful to our title sponsor Engel & Völkers Collingwood for making this event possible, as well as our wine provider, award-winning Windrush Estate Winery, as well Freshwater Distilleryy who crafted our very own new, festival cocktail recipe called “Rhapsody in Blue” evoking the colours of our bay. Guests also savoured Chef Zak Collingwood’s mouthwatering, handcrafted hors d’oeuvres and our carefully-trained docents treated everyone to an engaging tour of The Breakers artwork collection. With such incredible momentum in place, we are all the more excited about our upcoming summer festival series and invite everyone out to enjoy our diverse array of events from July 8-15 this year.”

Is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s birthday an April Fool’s joke?

Is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s birthday an April Fool’s joke?

For years, we've been told to use April 1 as the Russian master's official birthday and this has been confirmed by the Name Authority File on record at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Yet, Rachmaninoff himself celebrated his birthdays on April 2nd and his...
