Jackie’s first performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 was in Vancouver at the age of fifteen. Since then he has given hundreds of performances of the Beethoven Piano Concertos worldwide, including at London’s Barbican Centre, the Sydney Opera House, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra, the Central China Philharmonic, and Shanghai Symphony, among countless others.
Most recently, he performed all five of Beethoven’s Piano Concertos with Symphony Nova Scotia in celebration of that orchestra’s 40th anniversary.
The orchestral part accompanying Jackie will be played by the incredible Houston Symphony pianist Scott Holshouser.
We are very grateful to our sponsors for these concerts: Carl de Boor, Aloysia Friedmann, Annie Moss Moore, and Leslie Seaman.
