Christina Petrowska Quilico winner of 2007 CMC/CLC Friends of Canadian Music Award
The Canadian Music Centre and the Canadian League of
Composers are pleased to announce Christina Petrowska Quilico as the
recipient of the 2007 Friends of Canadian Music Award. This
annual $1,000 award is a joint venture between the CLC and the CMC,
honouring those who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to
Canadian composers and their music. This award will be presented
at a reception on Saturday, June 7, 2008 at Toronto’s Music Gallery –
immediately following the Penderecki String Quartet’s presentation of
Intra/Introspections: Piacentini & Gentile.
A National jury (comprised of composers Keith Hamel, Melissa Hui and
Christien Ledroit) recognized Christina Petrowska Quilico for her
dedication to Canadian contemporary classical music as well as her
unwavering support of this country’s composing community.
Throughout her exceptional performing and recording career Chrisina
Petrowska Quilico has had a profound impact on Canada’s classical music
community from coast to coast to coast.
Born in Ottawa, Canada, Christina Petrowska Quilico was a child
prodigy. She made her concert debut at ten years of age. A short
time later, she was offered a scholarship to The Juilliard School where
she studied under Rosina Lhévinne, Jeaneane Dowis and Irwin
Freundlich. At fourteen, she won the High School of the Performing Arts
Concerto Competition, a prize she shared with fellow student Murray
Perahia, and made her New York City debut at the Town Hall.
After graduation, she studied in Europe, first at the Sorbonne in Paris
and later in Darmstadt and Berlin under the tutelage of composers
Karlheinz Stockhausen and György Ligeti. In 1971, she married her
first husband, the avant-garde French-Canadian composer Michel-Georges
Brégent. >From 1962 to 1980, Petrowska Quilico lived in
New York City, where she performed extensively as a soloist and in
collaboration with her husband.
In the late 80s, she returned to Canada where she became the recitalist
of choice for many Canadian composers including, Glenn Buhr, Chris Paul
Harman, Christos Hatzis, Larysa Kuzmenko, Alexina Louie, Heather
Schmidt and Ann Southam. She debuted close to twenty piano concerti and
solo works and toured extensively through North America, Europe, the
Middle East and Asia.
Christina Petrowska Quilico has recorded 20 CDs as a soloist and four
CDs in partnership with her second husband, the late Metropolitan Opera
baritone, Louis Quilico. In 1992, her CD Virtuoso Piano Music of Our
Time traveled into space with Canadian astronaut Steve Maclean and
debuted aboard the Space Shuttle Colombia. Maclean reprised his role as
music director to the stars by taking Eclipse, featuring Christina on
piano, on his most recent trip. Recent recordings include
Canadian Composers Portraits: Ann Southam and 16 Portraits:
Michel-Georges Brégent.
Christina Petrowska Quilico has written three books, Mr. Rigoletto: In
Conversation With Louis Quilico, Opera Illustrated: An Artistic Odyssey
and Go Away Sisyphus, a volume of poetry. She is also a competitive
ballroom dancer and appears in the short film, Tango Amore. Currently,
Petrowska lives in Toronto where she is a Professor of Piano and
Musicology at York University.
Established in 1959, the Canadian Music Centre exists to
stimulate the awareness, appreciation and performance of Canadian
music, making the music of its Associate Composers available through
its music libraries and through various promotional and outreach
activities. The CMC is Canada’s primary information resource,
producer, distributor of concert music and sound recordings.
Founded in 1951, the Canadian League of Composers is the voice of
Canada's professional composers. Through advocacy,
communications, and partnerships, it seeks to uphold and nurture an
environment where composers' work is sought after, heard, and valued.
