Art of Piano: James Angnoson & Micah Yui

Venue: Rolston Recital Hall at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity

James Anagnoson is one of Canada’s most celebrated pianists and the Dean of The Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School. As half of the internationally acclaimed duo Anagnoson & Kinton, he has performed over 1,500 concerts worldwide, earning praise from The New York Times for their “formidable precision and panache.” He has also taught and mentored generations of prize-winning pianists, shaping Canada’s classical music landscape for decades.

Yui, meanwhile, is an acclaimed Canadian pianist, whose playing contains "blazing enthusiasm, power, and technical assurance” (Los Angeles Times). She’s played solo recitals around the world, including at venues in Zurich, Tokyo, New York, Toronto, and Copenhagen. She’s also given radio performances on CBC, NHK, and WQXR, plus orchestral performances with the Syracuse, Edmonton, Victoria, Montreal Metropolitan, Asheville, and Baltimore Chamber orchestras.

Both are part of the faculty for Art of Piano, a program that pushes the instrument to new heights in skill, expression, and composition.
