Hans-Karl Piltz (1923–2020) Professor Hans-Karl Piltz was a talented violist and teacher who helped shape the School of Music as it evolved from a small Bachelor of Arts program in the late 1950s to the large and thriving School it is today. He was 96 years old when he passed away this April. Prof. Piltz loved teaching, and in 1959 joined the UBC Department of Music — as the School of Music was then known. As Professor of Viola, he mentored several generations of strings musicians who have gone on to long and successful careers in orchestras and as soloists in North America, Europe, and all over the world. He founded and directed the UBC Symphony Orchestra from 1959–1970 and also helped found the Vancouver Society for Early Music — now known as Early Music Vancouver — in 1969.

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.

As the century progressed, the dominance of complex, Baroque compositional methods had diminished and the style of writing had been simplified, making it easier for an amateur to master. Yet, at the same time in Vienna, the public performance of larger-scale, symphonic music came into vogue. And as this was written for professionals, the composer could explore greater complexity, even bringing back some of the intricate devices of baroque music such as fugues. Furthermore, in the last decades of the century, a full-time, professional quartet was maintained in Vienna by Count Razumovsky for performances at the great houses.

Critics and colleagues hold the Quartet in high esteem and many of today’s leading artists and composers seek out the Quartet for collaborations. The Quartet is also known for its performances of the complete quartets of Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg, Bartók, and Mozart. The Quartet’s recordings of the complete Mozart string quartets on a matched set of Stradivarius instruments are widely held to set the standard for this repertoire. To celebrate its 35th anniversary, the Quartet recorded an ambitious CD, Schubert’s Echo, released by NSS Music. The program invites the listener to appreciate the influence of Schubert on two masterworks of early 20th-century Vienna. In addition to quartets by European masters, the American naturally performs quartets by American composers. Their newest release, American Romantics (Apple Music, 2018), is a recording of Robert Sirota’s American Pilgrimage, Dvořák’s “American” quartet, and Barber’s Adagio for Strings.The American also champions contemporary music.
