Angela Cheng, renowned concert pianist and the original ABMF scholarship recipient, has made regular guest appearances in virtually every orchestra in Canada, as well as with symphonies around the world.

2017-18 was a busy season for her, both as a member of the internationally renowned Zukerman Trio, and for her individual pursuits. She taught a Masterclass at the Toronto Summer Music Festival in July 2017, and performed the Ravel Piano Concerto in G Major with the  Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in October 2017, and with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in  January 2018. She recently performed a solo recital at the Muttart Hall in June 2018, wowing audiences with her - as usual - brilliant technique, tonal beauty and love of music.

Former ABMF recipient, Mikolaj Warszynsky, is in the midst of his European recital tour! On May 26, 2018, he performed 3 archival prints at the Liszt Museum in Budapest, which will be included in his upcoming Lisztomania CD, to be released on September 1, 2018. On June 9, 2018, he will be performing in St-Merry church in Paris as part of the Accueil Musicale concert season. The recital will also mark the European release of his previous album for the French label, Anima Records.

In addition, he will be performing a salon concert on June 5, 2018 in Warsaw.

​Mikolaj sends his greetings from his birth town of Gdańsk!
