Women from Space
The WOMEN FROM SPACE FESTIVAL’S directive is to celebrate and create a space for women during International Women’s Day Weekend...
“What makes Egoyan an artist to die for is her devotion to new music. She specializes in the unfamiliar, but plays it so revealingly we come away from her recitals still wondering at the poetry she reveals in what can sound desiccated and dull… Her mind is all quicksilver in its lightness and leaping alertness… brilliantly clear and perceptive.” – Halifax Chronicle-Herald
“A performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts… What’s Egoyan´s secret? Meticulous preparation. Discerning choice of repertoire-she only plays music she loves…an innate love for piano sonorities and texture. Abundant technique that never advertises itself. A passionate desire to get under the skin of the music she plays… and Egoyan´s magical quality of listening…” – National Post
“Egoyan is the kind of pianist who excites the listener because of the total involvement she displays with whatever music she perform... She is one with her instrument and at the same time she is one with the music. Hers is an extraordinary talent.” – Lancette Journal of the Arts
“Egoyan is truly an astounding performer.” – I care if you listen
“Eve Egoyan’s pianism has strengths in abundance, fully justifying Michael Finnissy’s testimony that ‘she illuminates the music she plays; an alchemy, authenticity and fearlessness’.” – International Piano Magazine
“Egoyan is a visionary musician and pianist who is forging a new path for contemporary solo piano music.” – The Kitchener-Waterloo Record
Pianist Eve Egoyan is a composer´s dream. The largeness of her spirit informs everything she plays with its sensitivity to the tiniest nuance, and her perceptive ability to make strange and unheard-of detail fit together in the most convincing way. – Halifax Chronicle-Herald
“Egoyan’s performance, which shares the multi-dimensional ranges and resonances of the music in exhilarating ways, seems to magically travel through the under-layers of our skin, gently leaving its imprint on our souls.” – Doina Popescu
“Refreshing, innovative, creative and original.” – Sound Advice, CBC Radio
“Egoyan’s take on new works is stunning…her clear, uncompromising taste was much in evidence in the choice of repertoire…Egoyan’s remarkable playing balanced that delicacy with intense focus, holding all in a net…the spaces in between the notes were still charged with presence…I even found myself confusing sound with touch…so convincingly had Egoyan restitched our reference points.” – Globe and Mail
