Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin — whose “demon speed” (Boston Symphony) and “near-superhuman technical prowess” (New York Times) have earned him seven JUNO Awards — returns to the NAC Orchestra for what will undoubtedly be a powerhouse performance of Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto. Written while the composer’s hearing loss grew worse and the Napoleonic Wars raged outside his door in Vienna, Beethoven’s commanding work for solo piano and orchestra speaks to the strength of the human spirit in times of darkness and despair.
