Sergei Babayan, Piano
Hailed for his emotional intensity, bold energy and remarkable musical colours, Deutsche Grammophon exclusive artist Sergei Babayan is among the finest artists of our time. Montreal's Le Devoir declared "Babayan is a genius. Full stop."
After the great success of 2023, VPS Guest Artist Sergei Babayan returns to the beautiful Christ Church Cathedral with a unique program sure to mesmerize audience members.
Join us for an exquisite evening as Vancouver Piano Sessions proudly presents Sergei Babayan, one of the most sought-after pianists in the world, in an intimate recital where he will transform the piano into an expressive, singing instrument.
