Jan Lisiecki – May 4, Theatre Maisonneuve LiveEvents April 26, 2015 5221 Pro Musica – Série Pierre-Roland presents Jan Lisiecki The New York Times describes Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki as “a pianist who makes every note count,” while the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation goes even further, describing him as “one of the most sensational young artists to emerge in Canada in the past decade,” no less. He won at age 14 the OSM Standard Life Competition which launched his career. The next year, he became a Deutsche Grammophon exclusive recording artist. A testimony to his outstanding musical gifts, his first recording was nominated for a Juno Award; his second, featuring Chopin’s Études, immediately made headlines and received in 2013 the « Découverte » prize from British magazine Diapason. Recognized for his mature and poetic playing, Jan Lisiecki has earned numerous accolades and makes an impression everywhere he performs.
