Lubomyr Melnyk is one of the truly great innovators of the piano — an explorer whose remarkable technical capacities and his poetic mastery has enthralled audiences wherever he plays ! His solo piano work is truly astounding …. when he combines this into 2 pianos, the result is purely mind-splitting!

His artistry at the piano has introduced an exciting new voice for the instrument. Continuous Music — as one critic put it “ the piano was always meant to sound this way“ ( Edward Bond of the Kingston Whig-Standard ).

The evocative beauty of his music has amazed audiences wherever he has performed. His music has been described by critics as “ the play of atoms bouncing around at supersonic speeds!“ — and indeed, Melnyk’s technique in performing these works is simply amazing! He is THE fastest pianist in the world — able to sustain speeds of over 19 notes per second in each hand simultaneously!

LUBOMYR MELNYK is one of the most innovative and fascinating pianists/composers of this century. During the 1970’s he developed a totally new language for the piano, called Continuous Music, and with it, a stupendous physical and mental technique that is totally unprecedented in the history of the piano

FEATURED PERFORMERS
David Fallis, Conductor
Soundstreams Choir 21
Ensemble Soundstreams

Hailed by National Public Radio as “one of today’s most compelling composers for the human voice,” Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Mass for the Endangered is a poignant choral meditation on the fragility of our natural world. Blending Nathaniel Bellows’ evocative poetry with the traditional Latin Mass, this work is a plea for compassion and stewardship in the face of environmental crisis. Also presented alongside this work is Andrew Balfour’s Gaze Upon the Trees, and R. Murray Schafer’s virtuosic Wild Bird for violin and harp. Soundstreams’ opening concert is a deeply moving reflection on our responsibility, relationship and connectivity to the planet and its creatures.
