Born in British Columbia, 24-year-old pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko is well established on both sides of the Atlantic as a highly promising young artist, playing with orchestras such as the Calgary Philharmonic and giving significant recitals and broadcasts with the likes of the Vancouver Recital Society, CBC Radio and WQXR’s Young Artists Showcase as well as at London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Weill Recital Hall, Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional de Música and Salle Cortot in Paris. Other highlights include performances with Orquesta Sinfónica de Madrid, the Real Orquesta Sinfónica de Sevilla and the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa. Jaeden studied with Yoheved Kaplinsky at the Juilliard School and Corey Hamm at the University of British Columbia and is now a student of Jacob Leuschner and Benedetto Lupo. Other than his BBT Fellowship he has won top prizes at the Hilton Head, Maria Canals and Paloma O’Shea Santander International Piano Competitions.
