CCR House Concert: Crozman & Milatz - February 20, 2024

We have the unique opportunity to meet and enjoy the art of two young Canadian classical musicians in the intimate setting of a private residence during their tour of Italy. It goes without saying that spots are strictly limited for this home concert, reminiscent of the private salons of the past. Refreshments will be provided; CCR members have priority.
Named “Canada’s next big cello star” by CBC Music, Canadian cellist Cameron Crozman leads an active performing career as a soloist and chamber musician in Canada, the USA, and Europe. Winner of the 2021 Canada Council for the Arts Virginia Parker Prize, Cameron was CBC/Radio-Canada’s 2019 Classical Revelation artist and a laureate of the Paris Conservatoire and Gautier Capuçon’s Classe d’Excellence at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. He plays on a c. 1750 cello by Gennaro Gagliano, generously on loan from the Canada Council for the Arts Instrument Bank.

Meagan Milatz is “a remarkable pianist with a seemingly limitless palette of expression” (Le Devoir). An accomplished soloist and chamber musician, she has appeared with orchestras across Canada and performs regularly with top international musicians such as Stefan Dohr, Matt Haimovitz, Øystein Baadsvik, Avi Avital, Cho Liang Lin, and Andrew Wan, and she has performed internationally in Ireland, France, Scotland, Spain, and the USA.
