PAUL BERKOWITZ
HOLARSHIP CONCERT

On April 3, internationally acclaimed pianist Paul Berkowitz will perform a benefit concert at

 
 

 

Douglas College.

Since Berkowitz's successful London debut in 1973, this Montreal-born pianist has performed
regularly at the QueenElizabeth Hall, and for the BBC radio. In addition, he is heard quite
frequently as a recitalist and on the radio in Europe, America and Canada including regular

appearances with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.

"Paul Berkowitz is a rising piano talent who is receiving critical acclaim in Europe and North
America," says Richard Kitson, chairman of the Arts and Humanities department at Douglas College.

"We're very pleased that we are able to present an artist with an international reputation."

The evening's program includes Beethoven's Sonata in G, Opus 14 No. 2, Schubert's Sonata in A minor

D 784 and Schumann's famous Davidsbundlertanze.

Davidsbundlertanze Opus 6, or the Dancers of the Brothers of David, deals with an imaginary society
of famous people (both dead and alive) which existed in Schumann's mind. They met to counter
Philistinism in music and the arts. It is a suite of character pieces which has autobiographical

significance.

"Florestan and Eusebius in the Davidsbundlertanze represent the two sides of Schumann's schizophrenia,"
says Kitson. "The Florestan persona is the romantic hero meeting challenge and Eusebius represents
the philosophical dreamer."
