Concert
Experience a piano masterpiece … reimagined. Known for performances of imagination, intensity, and individuality, 2025 Honens Gold Laureate Élisabeth Pion returns to Calgary with Frédéric Chopin’s Études Op. 25. This time, she presents the piece with a poetic and fiery twist—interspersed with works of shimmering reflections and bold clarity from other composers.
After the concert, hop across the street for Bison Noir: Revisions in Real-Time at 9 pm at the historic King Eddy!
