Jan Lisiecki plays Schumann with Kazushi Ono and the OSM

Von Marc Wieser, 28 November 2013

Every city has its favourites, and Jan Lisiecki is Montreal’s darling. There was a sense of proprietary pride in the audience as he strode across the stage at the Maison Symphonique, to join Kazushi Ono and the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal.
