Bravo Niagara! is thrilled to welcome back Grammy, Gramophone, and 11-time JUNO Award-winning violinist James Ehnes and pianist Andrew Armstrong October 12th. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear James Ehnes in an intimate recital at the historic 1792 St. Mark's Anglican Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

James Ehnes has established himself as one of the most sought-after violinists on the international stage. Gifted with a rare combination of stunning virtuosity, serene lyricism and an unfaltering musicality, Ehnes is a favourite guest of many of the world's most respected conductors and orchestras which includes, amongst others, the Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, New York, and London Symphony orchestras.
 
Ehnes has an extensive discography and has won many awards for his recordings including a Gramophone Award for his live recording of the Elgar Concerto with Sir Andrew Davis and the Philharmonia Orchestra. His recording of the Korngold, Barber and Walton violin concertos won a Grammy Award for ‘Best Instrumental Soloist Performance’ and a JUNO award for ‘Best Classical Album of the Year’.

James Ehnes is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and in 2010 was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada. He plays the “Marsick” Stradivarius of 1715.
