Rudyard Kipling once wrote: "East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet". In the programme for May 19th, Piano Pinnacle merges the boundaries of East and West through magnificent works of art. The programme will preview the repertoire which they will perform in Paris, France the following month, and includes pieces by Arensky, Infante, Lutosławski, Rachmaninoff (Europe), Yoshibumi Fujiwara (Asia), and Alexina Louie (America). In addition, the duo is passionate about supporting a new generation of composers, and is pleased to be giving another performance of ten Canadian works, which were written specifically for them, as a result of a nation-wide call for scores in 2011.

Piano Pinnacle, whose performances have been hailed as "a true tour de force" and "an absolute delight” (Musetta Stone), has been selected as the only North American team to take part in the 15th Torneo Internazionale di Musica in Paris in June 2012, and their upcoming recital schedule includes performances in cities such as Seattle, Toronto, Salt Spring Island, and Vancouver. The duo won Third Prize and Audience Choice Award at its debut performance at the International Northwest Piano Ensemble Competition. For more information, please visit http://www.pianopinnacle.com/
