Beethoven - Immortal Musical Genius.

A special presentation by Anton Kuerti, piano. The "Music & Truffles" series lets great youngsters hear great artists! Designed for children ages 5 to 15, Music & Truffles is also a great series for adults just starting to explore the mysteries and ecstasies of great music - you are not required to bring a child, and you will get a truffle at the end anyway! It's entertaining, it's interactive, and a wonderful opportunity to expose yourself and your children to classical music for a pittance!

Tickets are just $12. We know Beethoven's music. His name is synonymous with excellence and musical perfection. But what about the man himself, his beginnings, his pioneering spirit and his unique contributions to classical music? Was composition easy for him? Where did his musical inspirations come from? How did he "hear" music when he was deaf for most of his life? What did he change in music that lead the way for all others? These questions will be answered through Beethoven's music and Anton Kuerti's quirky originality. It's an event, it's a performance and it's a very special occasion for children and adults alike.

"Kuerti has so completely immersed himself in Beethoven's music, during all these years, that he has come to resemble the composer!" - La Presse, April 2011
