Musicfest Vancouver presents Benjamin Beilman, violin with Arthur Rowe, piano August 8, 2011

American violinist Benjamin Beilman was the 2010 winner of the Montreal International Musical Competition and will make his debuts in New York City, Washington DC, and Boston this season. This astonishing young artist is on the fast track to musical superstardom, and MusicFest Vancouver is excited to present him in our first Morning Chamber Music concert this year. From sensitive Mozart, to virtuosic Prokofiev and Saint-Saëns, this recital will highlight the breadth of Beilman's musicianship as he collaborates with highly respected Canadian pianist, Arthur Rowe. Part of the Morning Chamber Music Concerts of MusicFest Vancouver.

"Rowe is a marvelous pianist, even when he is pushed to the limits by extreme virtuosic demands." San Diego Tribune

"Artist and violin came together in the amazing 20-year-old American, a sort of spiritual son of Gil Shaham (who share the same pianissimo!)" Le Devoir
