Concert and Reception with Pierre Jasmin
November 09, 2013
Canadian Voice of Women for Peace presents a special night with the classical pianist Piette Jasmin.
A noted interpreter of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin, pianist Pierre Jasmin marks the latter’s 200th anniversary in Rideau Hall in front of Governor General Michaëlle Jean, the King and Queen of Norway and the Polish Ambassador. He performs as a soloist in the five main provinces of Canada, Austria, Croatia, England, France, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Tibet, the United States and during 18 years, in the Czech Republic (honorary president of the South Bohemia Piano Master Classes).
Graduate of McGill, ARCM (London), USC (Los Angeles), Vienna and Moscow, he is a tenured professor at Université du Québec à Montréal, where his work as Director launched the construction of both its Music Department’s facilities and Pierre-Péladeau Centre (Pierre-Mercure Hall).
A main subject of the documentary film Our last days in Moscow (Martin Duckworth, NFB) which won the only prize awarded to a Canadian film in the 1988 Montreal Arts’ Films International Festival, a special Radio-Canada television program was dedicated to his presence, as Artists for Peace president (see www.artistespourlapaix.org ) in a Flotilla of Peace in the Adriatic Sea in 1994, giving concerts for refugees. Jasmin sits on the executive boards of Pugwash Canada and of the Canadian Network for Abolishing Nuclear Weapons.
