Charles Richard-Hamelin

It has become October’s hot ticket in London: the Parsons and Poole Legacy Concert. Created by alumni to honour Margaret Parsons and Clifford Poole, the Friday concert and Saturday Masterclass brings world-class musicianship to Western’s campus.

This year we are pleased to welcome internationally acclaimed pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin as the guest artist.

Originally from Lanaudière in Québec, Charles Richard-Hamelin has studied with Paul Surdulescu, Sara Laimon, Boris Berman and our inaugural guest artist for the Parsons & Poole Legacy Concert, André LaPlante. He is a graduate from McGill University, the Yale School of Music, the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal and now works on a regular basis with pianist Jean Saulnier.
