reaching a different state of being.
CHLOE WESTON is a Canadian classical pianist who thrives with effervescent energy on stage sharing her love of music with audiences. A creative artist always excited about the next project she can create with friends - Chloe is on a heart-centered mission to share art and creativity through music - conjuring the magic of a shared moment in time together through live performance. Her compelling performances as soloist and chamber musician are driven by this pursuit for connection with others. She has travelled to perform across Canada, the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
This season, Chloe will rejoin her beloved hometown orchestra, the North Bay Symphony Orchestra, in a performance of Grieg’s Piano Concerto in a minor, led by Dr. Joshua Wood, and will also perform with Trio Carnaval in an adaptive concert for Xenia Concerts in Toronto with Dakota Scott-Digout and Mime artist Trevor Copp.
Last season, Chloe was featured as soloist with Kensington Sinfonia in Calgary in the premiere of a concerto written for her by Canadian composer, Mark Limacher, and as soloist with Timmins Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Mozart’s piano concerto no. 23 in A major. She was also featured in North Bay Symphony’s Chamber Music Series in a performance of Eric Ewazen’s Balade, Pastorale and Dance for piano trio and The Archetype of Modern Man Chamber Music Series in Houston, Texas, in a piano duo concert with Elizabeth Newkirk.
Hailing from North Bay, Ontario, Chloe holds degrees in solo piano performance from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University. She is currently studying the works of Enrique Granados in Barcelona at the Academia Marshall with Alba Ventura. She has participated in masterclasses and festivals across the globe that have further enriched her musical knowledge and have given her the privilege to learn from many wonderful mentors and collaborators.
Chloe’s musical endeavours collide with her “artivist” spirit and pursuit to connect across boundaries through her work as a teaching artist. She is dedicated to curating music education and performance in communities close to home and abroad. She enjoys fostering musical education as a teaching artist in residencies with the Festival of the Sound’s Music Scores Outreach program in Parry Sound, Ontario as well as in masterclasses and music festivals for young musicians in the north. In her quest to serve the communities around her, Chloe found an incredible artistic partner in Xenia Concerts, an organization committed to curating Adaptive Concerts designed to be family-friendly events that embrace neurodiversity and disability.
Chloe’s musical journey began with ballet, disney and musical theatre, but the piano, and its vast possibilities, captivated her at age 10 and has become her lifelong companion. The endless opportunities to learn and explore through the world of music drive her to continue on her artistic path.
