    Philip Chiu<\/strong> has worked his way towards becoming one of the country’s leading pianists. The Montreal-based performer is familiar to Toronto stages through his many appearances on various stages. He is as well known for his solo work as he is for his work with chamber ensembles, and other artists, including work with James Ehnes, Raphael Wallfisch, Patrice Fontanarosa, Regis Pasquier, and Matt Haimovitz, among others. Philip will be performing in this year’s Toronto Summer Music Festival in multiple concerts.<\/p>\n
