His musical studies began with his father, Rodolfo Díaz, before continuing on to Mexico’s National Conservatory where he studied with Benjamin Alarcon. During his time at the conservatory, he was a three-time winner of the winds division of the school’s concerto competition. His principal teachers also include Jorgen van Rijen in the Roterdam Conservatorium, in the Netherlands and Jacques Mauger in Lausanne Conservatoy, Switzerland. Faustino Díaz is the first trombonist from Latin America to win an international trombone competition (Jeju, South Korea 2013), and has additionally taken third place (Budapest, Hungary 2016) and was selected as a finalist (Porcia, Italy 2011) in two others. He has enjoyed positions with top-tier orchestras both in his home country and abroad, including the Zurich Opernhaus, Mexico City Philharmonic, UNAM Philharmonic, and the National Symphony Orchestra (Mexico). Díaz has been frequently invited to play with two of the most renowned brass ensembles in the world, the Enrique Crespo Brass and the Meridian Arts Ensemble. Díaz is one of the foremost soloists of brass instruments in Latin America, Asia and Europe and is a champion of new Latin American music. He has premiered several works by Mexican composers for trombone, tuba and trumpet, and is a tireless advocate for music education in his home country. In addition to classical music, Faustino Díaz is one of the most prominent musicians in Latin regional music. His demanding solo schedule has precluded him from accepting several positions, including a tour on trumpet with the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. He is the founder and general director of the National Trombone Week festival held annually in Mexico, and in 2016 organized an educational tour throughout his home state of Oaxaca, visiting 20 cities, offering masterclasses, teaching lessons and performing for communities who might not otherwise have the opportunity to hear a world-class soloist play on their doorstep. Díaz currently performs as the Principal Trombone of the Daegu Symphony Orchestra in Daegu, South Korea. He is a proud Yamaha Performing Artist and exclusively plays Yamaha instruments and K&G Mouthpieces. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since winning First Prize at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, they have traveled to nearly every major city across the globe, captivating audiences in New York, London, Berlin, Vancouver, Paris, Beijing, Toronto, Lucerne, and Los Angeles. In the past three years, the quartet organized a residency at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University, where their focus was to coach young chamber groups and host presentations and side-by-side concerts with the SMU community. The quartet has also held residencies at the Curtis Institute, Colburn Conservatory, and Northern Michigan University. Recently, they’ve been selected to be the inaugural group for a new guest residency at the Music in the Morning series in Vancouver until 2025, where they will commission new works and lead extensive community engagement initiatives. The Viano Quartet released Portraits, their first EP, through the Curtis Studio Label in summer 2023. Available to stream on all major music platforms, the recording is a final artistic statement of their time at the Curtis Institute, and features the beautiful Andante Moderato movement from Florence Price’s first string quartet. This summer the quartet was also re-invited to Chamber Music Northwest, the Bravo!Vail Festival and BISQFest, and appeared at the Intimacy of Creativity Festival in Hong Kong, Ottawa Chamberfest, Minnesota Beethoven Festival, Strings Music Festival, Highlands-Cashiers and Mt. Desert Festivals of Chamber Music, as well as Bay Chamber Concerts. During the 23/24 season the quartet can be heard in Canada, Arizona, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Utah, New York and California. The quartet achieved incredible success in their formative years, with an unbroken streak of top prizes at major competitions. In addition to their career-defining achievement at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition, they also received the Grand Prize at the 2019 ENKOR International Music Competition and second prize at the 2019 Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition. At the 2018 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition they received Third Prize, the Haydn Prize for the best performance of a Haydn quartet, and the Sidney Griller Award for the best performance of the compulsory work, Thomas Ades’ “The Four Quarters”. They received the Silver Medal at the 2018 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and Third Prize at the 9th Osaka International Chamber Music Competition in 2017. The Viano Quartet has collaborated with world-class musicians such as pianists Emanuel Ax, Marc-André Hamelin, Inon Barnatan and Elisso Virsaladze, violists Paul Coletti and Paul Neubauer, violinist Noah Bendix-Balgley, vocalist Fleur Barron and clarinetist David Shifrin. Their chief mentors include faculty of the Curtis Institute and Colburn Conservatory, as well as members of the Dover, Guarneri, and Tokyo string quartets. The name “Viano” was created to describe the four individual instruments in a string quartet interacting as one.

He was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus by the University of Alberta in 2018 and is now an Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria. The Toronto Star’s review of Milton’s CD 1890 exemplifies the type of artistry he is known for, acclaiming his playing for its “emotionally expressive, powerfully intimate journeys through beautiful harmonies and counterpoint.” During his university career, Milton was the recipient of numerous teaching- and research-related awards, including a prestigious McCalla Professorship for his significant contributions to research, teaching, and learning. Based at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus in Camrose, he also taught graduate-level piano pedagogy courses in Edmonton. Milton continues to be active as an artist. He has performed in live and broadcast performances as solo recitalist, collaborative pianist, and soloist with orchestra. Solo recital engagements have taken him to China, Ireland, France, Germany, the US, and Japan. He has released five recordings that feature him as a soloist and collaborative pianist performing pieces drawn from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Two of the recordings highlight works by renowned American composer Frederic Rzewski, including one piece commissioned by Milton. He holds a Doctor of Music degree in piano performance from the University of Alberta, where his primary mentors were Robert Stangeland and Stéphane Lemelin. Alongside his activities as a pianist, Milton has published as a researcher and composer, has performed as organ recitalist, and today trains and competes in triathlon events. Two publications serve to illustrate his unique perspectives and diverse interests. “Music, the Liberal Arts, and Rural Identity: The Not-So-Straight-Road” appears in the book Roads Taken: The Professorial life, Scholarship in Place, and the Public Good. The chapter traces Milton’s career and the distinctive, quality teaching that can occur on a smaller-sized liberal arts campus in a rural location. “Minding the music: Neuroscience, video recording, and the pianist” is found in the International Journal of Music Education. The article offers best practices in the use of digital video equipment by pianists through the examination of intersections between neuroscience, contemplative studies, and sport psychology.

Allegro moderato, tempo di marcia �MARTHA COOKE LEGACY FUND With a generous gift from the estate of Martha Cooke, The Martha Cooke Visiting Artist Fund presents the first of three visits to the University of Victoria School of Music by renowned pianist Minsoo Sohn. The Martha Cooke bequest also establishes two substantial funds for piano maintenance at the School of Music. We are delighted that Minsoo Sohn will return to present concerts and masterclasses in October of both 2024 and 2025. All ticket proceeds from Mr. Sohn’s concerts will go to the piano maintenance legacy fund. BIOGRAPHY Minsoo Sohn is a Korean American pianist known for his musical intelligence and masterful virtuosity. Described by the New York Times as “a genuine artist, with a thoughtful and poetic interpretation” and the Boston Globe as “born to play the piano,” Sohn continues to expand his reputation as one of the foremost pianists of his day. Sohn has toured extensively throughout North and South America, Europe, Israel and Korea and has appeared in important venues and festivals. Sohn is particularly noted for his interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. The New York Times praised his Honens-label recording of the work as a “beautifully articulated, radiant interpretation,” placing it one of the top classical recordings of 2011. His recordings have also received critical acclaim from the New Yorker Magazine, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Gramophone Magazine, the Calgary Herald and Toronto Star, among many others. In 2020, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, Mr. Sohn concluded his four year immersion in the composer’s music, which has included concert performances, recordings and writings. Over the course of his Beethoven project, Mr. Sohn performed and recorded the composer’s thirty-two sonatas in a series of recitals at the Seoul Arts Center, and in recording sessions at Tongyeong Concert Hall. The recital series also included Beethoven’s monumental Diabelli Variations and Bagatelles. Sony Classical released the highly anticipated nine-album set of “Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas” in the Fall of 2020. Mr. Sohn previously held positions at Michigan State University and Korean National University of Arts before joining his alma mater,The New England Conservatory of Music, where he began teaching in the Fall of 2023. He is indebted to Russell Sherman and Wha Kyung Byun for guiding him to follow his bliss. We acknowledge and respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
