SILVERMAN CONCERT

Robert Silverman, one of Canada's premier
musicians, has been hailed by critics around
the world as an accomplished pianist with
vision, genius, and a commanding stage
presence. Douglas College is proud to
announce that Silverman will display his
mastery of the keyboard at the College
Theatre, November 22.

The Scholarship Concert will showcase this
great Canadian performer's talents starting
at 8:00 p.m. The performance at Douglas
College follows Silverman's successful tours
of Europe, the Far East, the Soviet Union,
as well as North and South America.

Silverman lives in Vancouver. Born in
Montreal, he appeared in his first recital
at age five, before making his official
debut with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.
He went on to win the Canadian Music
Competition and placed second in the CBC
Talent Competition. Receiving his B.A. in
Humanities, he studied for two years in
Vienna to complement his training.

Finishing his education in North America,
Silverman's story has since been a steady
climb to the top. He was Grand Prize
winner of the Concours Jeunesses Musicales
and was immediately engaged to perform at
Expo in 1967.

Silverman has made dozens of recordings,
with his Orion recording of music by Liszt
capturing the Grand Prix du Disque in 1977.
In 1978 he played an extraordinary series
of open air concerts at Lincoln Centre,
New York.

From New York to Hong Kong, critics have
acclaimed Silverman as a superb pianist.

the most accomplished musicians" the city
has ever produced, and New York reviewers
said he "Held his audience spell-bound at
the Kaufman Concert Hall with his interpre-
tive skill."
