A Port Moody music society will host its first concert of the season on Sunday with Canadian premiere pianist Robert Silverman.
The Yarilo Music Ensemble will present a program that includes Beethoven's Sonata No. 23 in F-Minor, Opus 57 (also known as Appassionata) and Brahms' Rhapsody in B-minor, Opus 79, No. 1, and Six Piano Pieces, Opus 118.
Silverman has appeared with orchestras on three continents including the Chicago Symphony, the Sydney Symphony and the BBC (London) Symphony. His discography includes more than 30 CDs and a dozen LPs. His recording of Liszt's piano music received a Grand Prix du Disque from the Liszt Society of Budapest while his widely acclaimed 10-CD recording of all 32 Beethoven sonatas was short-listed for a Juno Award.
The Sept. 30 recital starts at 2 p.m. at 34 Shoreline Circle. Admission is by donation ($25 suggested). Visit www.yarilomusic.com.
