Founded in 1994 by pianist Janina Fialkowska, Piano Six and Piano Plus created live classical music events with Canada’s finest musical talent, in underserviced parts of the country that would otherwise never have experienced such ‘magic’.
Over a period of 16 years (1994-2010), Piano Six and Piano Plus reached over 100,000 people directly – and tens of thousands indirectly – through over 430 events across Canada. At each destination, the musicians collaborated with local presenters, schools and volunteers to provide multiple experiences directly with audiences, such as concerts, workshops, master classes and countless ‘Q&A’ sessions. Outside of those who directly experienced the events, tens of thousands more recognized the organization’s name and what it stood for.
