An award-winning pianist is coming to Shadbolt Centre for the Arts for a concert next weekend.
Local audiences can enjoy the skills of Teo Milea as he brings his My Piano Stories tour to the Shadbolt’s James Cowan Theatre. He’ll be onstage Sunday, Oct. 9 starting at 6 p.m.
The Vancouver Romanian Association is presenting the concert by the Toronto-based Milea, who was the winner of the popular vote and a top four finalist in CBC’s Searchlight 2016 music contest.
Milea also won 2015 Classical Album of the Year on Solopiano.com Radio US and earned the Akademia Music Awards’ Best Ambient/Instrumental Album for his most recent release, Open Minds.
A press release notes that the work of the composer and pianist is “a creation that successfully combines the specifics of two worlds: the classical and the new one, of the 21st century.”
“All his creation is based on interpersonal relations, states and needs of modern society, the passion and desire to conquer new soul territories,” the release says. “His piano stories are all about the people around him.”
Tickets for his Burnaby concert are $30 in advance online or $40 at the door. Buy through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call the box office at 604-205-3000.
