Kerson Leong in Recital
February 11, 2024 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Auditorio de la Ribera
Kerson Leong has been described as “not just one of Canada’s greatest violinists but one of the greatest violinists, period” —Toronto Star. Forging a unique path since his First Prize win at the International Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition in 2010, he continues to win over colleagues and audiences alike with “a mixture of spontaneity and mastery, elegance, fantasy, intensity that makes his sound recognizable from the first notes” — Le Monde. His latest album, featuring the Britten and Bruch violin concertos with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Patrick Hahn for Alpha Classics, was released to widespread critical acclaim, including having been awarded ‘Editor’s Choice’ by Gramophone, ‘The Strad Recommends’ by The Strad, and the ‘Choc de Classica’ by Classica as well as five-star recommendations from the Sunday Times and Diapason, among others.

“…without a doubt one of the most lyrical in the entire discography.” – Classica [Choc de Classica]
“Leong has the required flair and technique, but everything speaks with sincerity…”
– The Strad [The Strad Recommends]
“…distinguished by the naturalness of his phrasing and the suppleness of his transitions.” – Diapason
“…his instrument has the propulsive force of an Olympic bow…”
– Le Monde
“…without a doubt one of the group of top musicians who know how to captivate and bind the audience.” – Opus Klassiek
