James Ehnes' 50th Canada Birthday Tour

James Ehnes is back! One of the planet’s most renowned violinists celebrates his 50th birthday with a not-to-be-missed tour across Canada. The Banff Centre favourite will perform in recital with the celebrated pianist Andrew Armstrong; the pair have collaborated on several acclaimed recordings. Together, they’ll perform a repertoire including Brahms’s “Sonata No. 3,” Bartók’s “Rhapsody No 1,” and the world premiere of Carmen Braden’s “Imaginal,” co-commissioned by Banff Centre. Ehnes’s extensive discography has won a bounty of awards, including two Grammys, three Gramophone Awards, and 12 JUNO Awards—the most of any classical musician in history. He’s also one of the most sought-after musicians on the international classical stage. Recent and upcoming orchestral highlights include the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, LA Phil, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Cleveland Orchestra.
