Stéphane Lemelin, piano 
“What this sonata has always said to me [Sonata in B-flat, Schubert], Lemelin’s rendition said more clearly and with more simple eloquence than any other I’ve heard.”  ~ Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen Ottawa, ON, August 2002 Canadian pianist

 Stephane Lemelin maintains a busy national and international career as a soloist and chamber musician. He has collaborated with many important Canadian and international artists such as James Campbell, Jacques Israelievitch, Peter Schreier and Charles Dutoit. It is a great pleasure to have Mr. Lemelin perform the opening  concert of the Rose Gellert Hall season and a rare opportunity for audiences to hear some of Schubert’s greatest masterworks for piano, his last three sonatas.

counterpoint in imaginative ways.”  ~ Toronto Star, 2007
