As composer, author, actor, pianist and scriptwriter, Bruce Adolphe has earned a national reputation as a leading figure in the field of music education and audience development. Renowned for combining humor and musical scholarship, he has been Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's lecturer since 1992, as well as a frequent speaker at premier concert series and festivals, music schools, and education conferences. A prolific author, Bruce has written three books on the art of listening to music and regularly presents his entertaining and educational "Piano Puzzlers" on National Public Radio.
JANE COOP
With two Juno nominations last season (Canada’s music awards), there is no doubt that Jane Coop remains one of Canada’s most prominent and distinguished artists. She is an active recording pianist with a current discography of thirteen titles and has toured extensively throughout the world. She resides in Vancouver where she is Professor of Piano and Chamber Music at the University of British Columbia. Her major teachers were Anton Kuerti and Leon Fleisher. The Montreal Gazette says "Coop has that extra something that lets a pianist become a poet." | |
