Richard Raymond: Mentoring and Performing in August

Pianist Richard Raymond has a busy summer ahead, with two notable engagements that highlight his dedication to both performance and the mentorship of emerging artists.

In early to mid-August, Richard will be joining the Ocean Music Foundation as an educator, panelist, and performer. He will be performing four of Beethoven’s sonatas, including Moonlight and Appassionata, on August 6th at 7 p.m., held at the Manhattan School of Music’s Mikowsky Hall. Further details and concert listings are available here.

Additionally, Richard will serve as a jury member for the Toronto International Piano Competition, taking place August 14–16 at Tribute Communities Hall at York University. This competition provides a global stage for pianists under the age of 21, and Richard’s participation underscores his long-standing commitment to supporting and inspiring the next generation of musicians.

Beyond these summer highlights, Richard’s dedication to artistic development remains a constant thread throughout his career. Between his ongoing teaching at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal and his preparations for upcoming recording projects, he continues to seek creative ways to bring beautiful music to audiences worldwide.
