Event Description

Live from the Rockies presents Cosmic Harmonies, a transcendent afternoon of piano artistry with internationally acclaimed pianist and Banff Centre Art of Piano alumna JOYCE YU, whose "exceptional maturity and sensitivity" (Gabriela Montero) has captivated audiences from Shenzhen Concert Hall to the Hamptons.

More than a recital, Cosmic Harmonies is a narrative journey through the elemental forces of earth, water, and the cosmos - an invitation to reflect on nature and the universe through a program blending intellectual depth with emotional resonance.

The afternoon culminates in a second-half collaboration, as Joyce is joined by a string quartet from the Peaks + Prairies Ensemble for a performance of Schumann's beloved Piano Quintet, transforming solitary reflection into shared musical communion.
