Featured Artwork: Paintings by Shoshana Kertesz

This week, we are pleased to feature two paintings submitted to us by Hungarian artist Shoshana Kertesz. 

From the artist:

When I first heard Glenn Gould playing the piano, I was instantly inspired not only to find more of his recordings, but also to explore his unique personality.  The more I learned, the more interested I became in his story, as if I had uncovered a mysterious treasure. 

Glenn Gould never ceases to captivate my musical and artistic imagination.  As a result, I was inspired to create these two paintings.  One, captured outside, in nature and the other, Gould being lost in the pleasures of music at his piano in the middle of the night.  

Shoshana Kertesz is a visual artist from Hungary currently living in New Jersey, USA. Many of her paintings are inspired by music.

A Special Evening at Carnegie Hall

We would like to thank everyone who joined us on Thursday, November 17 for our benefit recital at Weill Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall) in New York featuring Canadian pianist Marika Bournaki.

Special guests of State Street Global Markets and the Quebec Government Office in New York enjoyed a reception in the historic Rohatyn Club room before entering Weill Performance Hall for Marika's performance. Marika played a fantastic program with dazzling interpretations of Bach, Schubert, Schumann and Ravel.  Her polished artistry continues to inspire audiences and honour the Glenn Gould legacy.
