Chris Wilshere, founder and artistic director of the Scotiabank Northern Lights Music Festival, says he “feels very good” about reaching the event’s tenth anniversary.
“We’ve had our ups and downs over the years,” he admits, “but this year we are already at 150 patrons. I think that’s a record.”
Among the 27 performers coming to Ajijic for this year’s festival – scheduled February 17 to March 1 – are two debutantes of world-class stature, he says.
Pianist Anton Kuerti (Auditorio de la Ribera del Lago Thursday, February 23, 7:30 p.m. and also Thursday, March 1, 7:30 p.m. in the gala finale) is the “most recorded on the planet,” Wilshere notes, while Christos Hatzis’ “really accessible” modern compositions represent “the classical music of the future.”
Hatzis’ concert on Monday, February 27, 4 p.m. is a Visionary and Conductors Circle Patrons Only event. Wilshere says there’s plenty of time to upgrade and experience this “beautiful” music.
