Three renowned visionary artists of the next generation combine talents in this eclectic new piano trio, JCT (pronounced junction).
Violinist Stefan Jackiw combines poetry and purity with an impeccable technique. He returns with pianist Conrad Tao and cellist Jay Campbell. Tao, who has been dubbed a musician of probing intellect and open-hearted vision by The New York Times. Approaching both old and new works with the same curiosity and emotional commitment, Campbell has been called electrifying by The New York Times. Recent concerts include performances at Washington Performing Arts, Portland Ovations and The Royal Conservatory in Toronto.
The 2018 Eine Kleine Summer Music Festival will be the Victoria debut for the JCT Trio.
Eine Kleine Summer Music Festival is the longest-running summer classical music event in Greater Victoria, and is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven organization presenting worldclass chamber music concerts at affordable prices.
This popular festival takes place in an intimate venue and a wonderful local winery, both locations surrounded by the relaxing natural beauty of the Saanich Peninsula. eksm.ca
