“Comparisons with Argerich should not be given lightly, but Paremski is so clearly of the same temperament and technique that it is unavoidable here.” — American Record Guide

With her consistently striking and dynamic performances, 26-year-old pianist Natasha Paremski reveals astounding virtuosity and voracious interpretive abilities. Her 2013–2014 season, packed with international dates, kicked off with the release of a highly-acclaimed recording of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. The album, which features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Fabien Gabel, has been hailed as an “electric, powerhouse performance” (The Herald).

Friday night (Sept 26) Natasha will launch the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's 2014/2015 season with a program that includes Gershwin’s Piano Concerto, Dvorák’s evergreen New World Symphony and Aaron Copland’s Canticle of Freedom.
