Okanagan Symphony Orchestra - Spirit of the North
Dynamic pianist Kinza Tyrrell joins the OSO, performing Grieg's Piano Concerto. Sibelius Symphony No.5 reflects the vastness of the Scandinavian landscape. PROGRAM: I Send Only Angels, Goddard Piano Concerto, Op. 16 in A minor*, Grieg Symphony No. 5, Op. 82 in E-flat major, Sibelius Victoria native Kinza Tyrrell made her orchestral debut at age twelve under the baton of Paul Freeman and the Victoria Symphony. The critics have called her a "sensation" with "award-winning talent", pronouncing her playing as "brilliant" with "beautifully limpid tone colours and sparkling passagework" and "skilled artistry." She began piano lessons at age four, acquired her AVCM at fifteen, and went on to study with Hans Graf at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria and J.S. Benda at the Graz Musikhochschule at age eighteen, care of the Johann Strauss Foundation Scholarship. Over the years, she has also had the pleasure of studying with various world-renowned keyboard artists such as Jon Kimura Parker, Anton Kuerti and Gyorgy Sebok. As well as being a solo performer, Kinza is in great demand as a vocal/language coach and recitalist.
