Prairie Sons:
David Liam Roberts, cello
Godwin Friesen, piano
Two rising stars from Manitoba and Saskatchewan return from their studies abroad to perform for their home audiences. Cellist David Liam Roberts and pianist Godwin Friesen, both included on CBC’s lists of Hot 30 Classical Musicians Under 30, met at the Royal Conservatory’s Glenn Gould School of Music and recognized a kindred spirit in each other. As Prairie Sons, they embody the expansive, nuanced perspective of their home landscapes in this program which includes Francis Poulenc's and Sergei Rachmaninov’s sonatas for cello and piano, a new work composed by Godwin, and a special prairie connection via the duo’s take on the music of Joni Mitchell. This concert is presented in partnership with Prairie Debut and the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg.
