2020 | At Home Concert Series
In March, 2020, Music Niagara was ready to announce over 30 concerts, including the celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday, as his music elevates the human spirit and increases our resistance to darkness and adversity.
In the new virtual realm, we are excited to present Music Niagara’s new At Home Series Festival from July 26th- October 12th. Watch our Remembrance Day Performance or all other performances free on our YOUTUBE CHANNEL or the WATCH LIVE page.
The Performance Academy
Music Niagara
Music Niagara’s Performance Academy offers a unique summer experience for specially gifted young performers, unlike anything they can gain in other summer programs. Now in its seventh year, Music Niagara’s Performance Academy mentors emerging young musicians to learn and to express themselves as artists.

The alternate shot format involves two players competing together as a team by alternating in making strokes at a single ball.
Ludwig in Vienna – Three Pearls
A glimpse into Beethoven’s musical development as reflected in three sonatas for piano and violin
In tribute and recognition of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven who lived in Vienna most of his adult life, Atis Bankas (violin) and Victoria Kogan (piano) perform three sonatas for piano and violin, each to an extent reflective of Beethoven’s creative evolution.
Opus 12, No. 1 (1798) is elegantly and happily classical in form and sound, but already distinctly in his voice. Op.30 No.6 (1801-2) has the maturity, melody and grace that we associate with his other well-known sonatas for these two instruments, the ‘Kreutzer” and the “Spring’, both composed in the same period. The third sonata, Opus 96, No.10 (1812), exudes warmth and sadness, and a hint of resignation to a fate that decreed his deafness, driving his music to the heights and darker reaches not evident in his earlier works.
