with a growing reputation for bringing classical music to wider audiences, award-winning, well-traveled pianist derek yaple-schobert will guide newcomers as well as experienced concert goers on a memorable musical journey nuanced with engaging and insightful commentary.  the program features a broad spectrum of the immortals; the emotional pathos of beethoven, the unearthly beauty of schubert and the dazzling virtuosity of franz liszt.  often infusing his recitals with a scandinavian twist as well as canadian content, yaple-schobert will also perform a set of variations on a swedish folk tune by erland von koch, in addition to a short innovative works by canadian composers boudreau.  several works on the program appear on his debut cd, nordic passion on sale at the recital.
