Two classical music recitals featuring three acclaimed pianists will play out next week at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre.

The Bergmann duo — better known as Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann — return to the venue (1205 Pinetree Way) Wednesday for their Musical Mornings series, at 10:30 a.m.

The latest round, titled The Red Violin, highlights the skills of Jasper Woods, a professor of violin and chamber music at the University of B.C. and its chairperson of the strings division.

And, on Friday night, Sarah Hagen — the founder of Musical Mornings — is back at the facility for Exultation, a program that includes the 13 preludes of Rachmaninoff’s Opus 32 woven with the spoken words of Brendan McLeod, a former Canadian SLAM champion.

The program centres on the Russian composer’s professional and personal life.

For tickets to the shows, call 604-927-6555 or visit evergreenculturalcentre.ca.
