Roy Thomson Hall Presents Itzhak Perlman And Friends This December

On Sunday, December 12, 2022 at 8:00pm, Roy Thomson Hall presents Itzhak Perlman and Friends, a once-in-a-lifetime program featuring the legendary violinist alongside piano superstars Emanuel Ax and Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Juilliard String Quartet.

The program is a celebration of life, first imagined by Perlman, Areta Zhulla, and the late Roger Tapping of the Juilliard String Quartet. Together, they imagined the program with Ernest Chausson's brilliant Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet, Op. 21 in mind, and after the passing of Roger Tapping in January 2022, Perlman and the remaining artists continued with the creation of this program in his honor. The special evening will only appear in three locations: Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall, UMS Ann Arbor, and Carnegie Hall.

Itzhak Perlman and Friends features these classical music superstars in Leclair's Sonata for Two Violins in E minor, Op. 3 No. 5; Mozart's Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major; and finally, Chausson's Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet, Op. 21.
