Michael Bridge on Hot Canadian Classical Musicians Under 30 - Canadaby Rita Davidson Barnea |
 CBC Radio Canada presented the 2016 edition of their annual list of Canada's emerging classical music talent.Yearly since 2013, they have been polling conservatories, music competitions and professional training programs from coast to coast, and creating a who's who of the nation’s next classical music stars. Twenty three year old Michael Bridge from Canada is the first accordionist ever to be on the "30 under 30" list. Excerpts from the CBC website: "Music is not a job, it's a lifestyle." says Michael Bridge. In May he received an Emerging Artist Award from the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. Last season, he performed as soloist with the Ontario Philharmonic String Quartet, the Lethbridge Philharmonic Orchestra, the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Soundstreams. Michael Bridge has given world premieres of 15 new works. In 2016-17, Michael will complete his master's degree in accordion performance at the University of Toronto and play music by Astor Piazzolla and William Bridges with the Greater Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra. |
