Composer Ann Southam (1937–2010) was exhilarated by sound. She had an open mind for all forms of artistic expression, especially music and sound. An innately curious person, she enjoyed experimenting with sound and making musical discoveries. She was equally fascinated by a single ringing piano note as by a cycling sequencer in the electronic music studio. Southam spent much of her creative life at home with her Beckstein grand piano, constantly trying out the stream of ideas that would spring to her fertile imagination. In an interview she gave in 1997 she said, “I always knew I wanted to be an artist. Art is magic.” From her New York orchestral debut at age 14 (“promethean talent” – New York Times) to the present day as one of Canada’s leading artists, pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico continues to astound audiences and critics with her dazzling command of the keyboard. CBC Music named her one of 20 Can’t-Miss
Classical Pianists of 2014, and one of Canada’s 25 best classical pianists in 2015.
