The 2024 Bachauer Silver Medalist returns to Utah in a concert full of driving virtuosity and lyricism, with music by the four B’s: Brahms, Bartók, Beethoven, and Bacewicz! The program includes Brahms’ intensely romantic op. 76 and Beethoven’s Sonata "Quasi una fantasia", op. 27, no. 1.
Praised for his interpretive sensitivity, imaginative programming, and ability to make classical music speak to all kinds of audiences, Canadian pianist Carter Johnson is quickly establishing a reputation as one of his generation’s most gifted and multi-faceted pianists. Silver Medalist in the 2024 Gina Bachauer Competition, his most recent competition victories include first prizes in international competitions such as the 2023 Concours Hauts-de-France, the 2021 International Competition of Polish Music, the 2020 Valsesia International Competition and the 2023 Weatherford College International Competition.
