Two of Canada’s most skilled and forward-thinking classical guitarists.
Adam Cicchillitti and Steve Cowan have set a benchmark in the world of classical guitar with their award-winning recordings, commissions of major orchestral works, and competition performances. On their debut release, FOCUS, Tracy Anne Smith (American Record Guide) states that “with sensitive, authoritative, au courant playing, Adam Cicchillitti and Steve Cowan retain their individuality while communicating like old friends.”
In 2021, the duo released its third album with Analekta Records, Intimate Impressions, featuring original arrangements of piano, harp, and guitar music written in 20th century Paris. They were awarded third prize at the 2021 international ensemble competition of the Guitar Foundation of America, arguably the most prestigious guitar ensemble competition in the world. These two virtuosos are clearly at the top of their game.

The warm-up act for this concert will be performed by Aya Swerdelian. Aya has been playing violin for the past 11 years. She started with her mother who is a professional violinist and is now taking lessons with Bev Martens. Aya has performed solos with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and has gone to many festivals and provincial competitions throughout the years. She was awarded the MQN Architects Scholarship in 2022, and the Caroline Galbraith Memorial Scholarship in 2023, at the annual VCMS Scholarship Recital. Aya’s goal is to play more solos with the orchestra and show her passion for music. This evening, Aya will be performing Accolay Violin Concerto in A minor by Jean-Baptiste Accolay and Playera Op.23 No.1 by Pablo de Sarasate.
