On Sunday, February 8, 2026, Vancouver audiences can look forward to a special musical highlight: the Canadian recital debut of German pianist Julius Asal at the Vancouver Playhouse.

Praised for his refined sound and artistic depth, Asal is widely regarded as one of the most promising pianists of his generation. A former student of Sir András Schiff at the Kronberg Academy, he has been named a BBC New Generation Artist, recognized as a Classic FM Rising Star, and recently signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon.

His program spans powerful and expressive works by Bartók, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff, offering an afternoon rich in contrast and emotion. Following the recital, audiences are invited to stay for a post-concert talk-back with the artist.

A rare opportunity to experience an exceptional young musician at an exciting moment in his international career.
