  • Late Night Romantics
  • Late Night opens on a provocative note, in welcoming one of today's most formidable pianists to centre stage. Croatian-American pianist Kemal Gekić is celebrated for his daring approach to the music of Franz Liszt. Bill Eddins and the orchestra explore music by three other composers whose music can only be described as "ultra-Romantic": Hector Berlioz, Richard Strauss, and Sergei Rachmaninoff.

  • Late Night Brahms
  • Having grown up in Edmonton and studied piano at Alberta College and the University of Alberta, Angela Cheng is one of the world’s finest classical pianists. She has been consistently cited for her superb musicianship and brilliant technique, and is an audience favourite in her former city of residence. Joining Bill Eddins for a Late Night concert featuring the music of one of the leading musicians of the Romantic period, Angela Cheng performs Brahms’ First Piano Concerto, a showpiece of grandeur and utmost technicality. Bold in his exploration of harmony and rhythm, Brahms’ Liebeslieder Waltzes for vocalists and piano, plus his exotic Hungarian Dances, will also be heard.
