The Canadian Piano Quartet, made-up of Anne Louise-Turgeon, Edward Turgeon, Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann will join together in a playful pianistic display featuring works for multiple pianists. Both duos are laureates of the Dranoff International Two Piano Competition and have enjoyed collaborating over the years at various festivals and on tour.
