CANADIAN DEBUT

Post-performance Talk Back

We are delighted to welcome this talented young German pianist in his Canadian debut. Praised by the late Menahem Pressler for his “uniquely beautiful sound and special sonority”, Julius studied with Sir András Schiff at Kronberg Academy from 2021 to 2024. In addition to being named a BBC New Generation Artist and a “Rising Star” by Classic FM, he has signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon. Remember, you heard him here first!

BARTÓK: Suite, Op. 14
BRAHMS: Ballades, Op. 10
BARTÓK: Burlesques, Op. 8c
RACHMANINOFF: Preludes, Op. 32 

He is sure to be one of the figures of the 21st century to take into account both in Germany and internationally.
