Internationally-renowned violinist Jerzy Kaplanek has established himself as a chamber musician, member of the celebrated Penderecki String Quartet, soloist, dedicated teacher, adjudicator, artistic director of QuartetFest and lately as a jazz violinist.
With his sublime, soulful sound, the Kaplanek Quartet will explore a combination of jazz standards and originals. They will introduce us to the varied and powerful tunes by iconic jazz violinists Jean-Luc Ponty, Didier Lockwood, Zbigniew Seifert and Adam Baldych. Spend an evening at the Jazz Room going on this musical journey with Kaplanek as he brings the high-powered jazz-fusion vibe that suits his violin playing so perfectly.
Jerzy is joined by Anthony D’Alessandro (piano), Mark Godfrey (bass) and Ian Wright (drums). Enjoy this fabulous quartet in the beautiful Recital Hall of the Guelph Youth Music Centre with its amazing acoustics.
For the “warm-up” act, Mr. Kaplanek is joined by pianist Ken Gee in Ravel’s Sonata no. 1 for violin and piano, opus posthumous.
