Benefit Concert for Mental Illness Foundation

Recital, Theatre Maisonneuve, Place des Arts, Montreal, Canada

Moi, j’en parle… is a Musical Benefit Event for the Mental Illness Foundation, featuring international pianist Marika Bournaki. This young artist will hold you spellbound from the moment she starts to play. A passionate, talented and somewhat defiant pianist, she distinguishes herself from her peers with her fresh, spontaneous performances coloured by remarkable musical sensitivity.

Marika chose to perform the greatest classics for piano in order to support the Mental Illness Foundation and its youth program Partners for Life, which helps raise the awareness of over 60,000 teens on depression every year.

The romantic piano with Marika Bournaki within “A cool classical journey”

“A cool classical journey” by L'Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, Studio-Theater, Place des Arts, Montreal, Canada

Mendelssohn: Fantasy in F-sharp minor, Op. 28, Sonate écossaise
Chopin: Polonaise-Fantasy, Op. 61
Schumann: Faschingsschwank aus Wien

One of the rising stars on the Canadian music scene, pianist Marika Bournaki made her debut with the OSM at the age of just nine. Named one of its “2011 women of the year” by Châtelaine magazine, Bournaki was the subject of director Bobbi Jo Hart’s film I Am Not a Rock Star, a selection at the International Festival of Films on Art in 2012 and the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival in Greece. Marika Bournaki intends taking us to the heart of the romantic piano repertoire with fiery and impassioned compositions by Mendelssohn, Chopin and Schumann.
