Who We Are

Virtuosi Concerts Inc. (VCI) is Winnipeg's premier recital and

chamber music series.

Based out of Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall at The University of Winnipeg,

Virtuosi Concerts takes pride in being able to provide 12 concerts of

excellence as well as a spring festival each year to the Winnipeg

community.

”Virtuosi has provided such a consistent quality of concerts over the

years that its audience trusts the organizers – believing that if VCI is

putting it on, it must be worthwhile” (Gwenda Nemerofsky, Winnipeg

Free Press)

“No university in Canada has come close to presenting such an

array of guest artists in recital” (Robert Silverman, pianist and former

UBC Dean of Music)

For the last 10 years, Virtuosi Festivals has invited Canadian artists to

tackle the entire oeuvre of a composers' work. This “festival formula”

has typically featured complete cycles of works in a genre, by the

greatest composers, performed by leading musicians. These festivals

were all unique, adventuresome and pioneering projects of great

cultural significance, experienced for the first time in Winnipeg:

In addition, VCI is proud to co-present Skywalk Concerts &

Lectures at the new Millennium Library, with 20 concerts and 20

lectures annually. Since 1990, we have produced over 550 events

serving more than 30,000 patrons, all for free admission. The

concerts typically feature world music, jazz, folk and classical as well.

This series is a showcase opportunity exclusively for Manitoba artists.
