19th Chopin Competition - Gold Medalist, Eric Lu Concert in Vancouver
Details
Join us for a special Refined Minds outing to hear the winner of the 19th International Chopin Piano Competition, live in a concert held at the Orpheum in Vancouver on February 16, 2026.
Held every five years in Warsaw, the Chopin Competition has launched the careers of some of history's greatest pianists. This is a rare opportunity to experience a world-class interpreter of Chopin's music right here in Vancouver, and a perfect follow-up to our recent session on the composer's life and artistry.
We'll experience the elegance, drama, and poetry of Chopin's works together, hearing firsthand why his music still captivates audiences nearly two centuries later.
After the concert, we will regroup near the Orpheum lobby entrance and head over to Waves Coffee Howe branch (900 Howe St.) to talk about our experience.
️ Tickets are available through the Orpheum website (address below). We recommend booking early, as this event is likely to sell out.
