  Award-winning pianist **Carter Johnson**\, First Prize winner of the Dubl
 in International Piano Competition and Silver Medalist at the Gina Bachaue
 r International Piano Competition\, brings to life a program that explores
  the echoes of home and memory. Long after we leave a place behind\, its t
 races remain within\; through music of tenderness\, longing\, and resilien
 ce\, this performance reflects on the experiences that continue to shape o
 ur inner landscape. Interweaving **Schumann**'s gracious *Arabeske* and lu
 minous *Ghost Variations* with the contrasting voices of **Schnittke** and
  **Bartók**\, the journey culminates in the former's *Davidsbündlertänz
 e*\, a work that traverses the full spectrum of human emotion.\n\nWine wil

 personality\, and cutting-edge programming\, Canadian pianist **Carter Joh
 nson** is known for making classical music speak to all kinds of audiences
 . With playing described as “sincere\, communicative\, and intelligent
 ”\, “drop-dead gorgeous”\, and even “the greatest thing since slic
 ed bread” (Gramophone)\, Johnson's competition laurels include being a f
 inalist in the 2025 Van Cliburn Competition and winner of the 2025 Dublin 
 Competition—the first Canadian to achieve either honor—as well as bein
 g the silver laureate in both the 2025 Honens and 2024 Gina Bachauer Compe
 titions. He is a recipient of the CAG Louis and Susan Meisel Prize.\n \nHi

 orates this skill into his recitals through spoken commentary. His perform
 ances of Poulenc’s L’histoire de Babar\, le petit éléphant\, in whic
