Forestier, one of the most gifted young violinists to emerge
in recent years. You’ll find concerts by a wide range of
internationally trained artists from here and from afar, with
Edmonton connections of all sorts! The Prochazka Tribute
Recital will feature international award winning Prochazka
alumnus, cellist David Eggert.
