The JCC Chamber Music Series brings world-class artists to the heart of the community, offering intimate and dynamic performances that explore the depth and diversity of chamber music through timeless masterworks and vibrant new voices.

 

Together, Roman Rabinovich and Daniel Temnik bring their exceptional artistry to an unforgettable evening of music, pairing fresh, expressive interpretations with technical brilliance. Audiences will embark on a journey through the transcendent depth of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 31, the vivid soundscapes of Debussy’s Estampes, and the passionate intensity of Franck’s Violin Sonata. With a shared commitment to nuance, artistry, and musical storytelling, Rabinovich and Temnik promise an evening that is both intimate and exhilarating.

Praised by The New York Times for his ‘uncommon sensitivity and feeling’, the eloquent pianist Roman Rabinovich was the winner of the 12th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition in 2008. His subsequent career has led him to perform throughout Europe and the USA in venues as Leipzig’s Gewandhaus, London’s Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Cité de la Musique in Paris and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center.

Roman Rabinovich has appeared as soloist with orchestras including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Sarasota Orchestra, Meininger Hofkapelle, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, NFM Leopoldinum, KBS Symphony, Prague Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic and all the major Israeli orchestras, and has collaborated with conductors such as Sir Roger Norrington, Zubin Mehta, Ludovic Morlot, Kristjan Järvi, Michael Stern, Christoph Koenig, Gerard Schwarz and Joseph Swensen. He has garnered critical acclaim for performances of concertos of all periods, ranging from Bach to Lutoslawski.

Highlights of the 2024-25 season include returns to Wigmore Hall for a series of three recitals, as well as to the Lammermuir Festival in Scotland and the Liszt Academy Chamber Music Festival in Budapest, and his concerto debut with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Roman Rabinovich also returns to Israel for a recital tour and concerto performances with the Haifa Symphony. The 2024-25 season also has a particular focus on JS Bach’s Golberg Variations, with a number of performances scheduled, including in London (Wigmore Hall) and Vienna (Bösendorfer-Zyklus).

Israeli-Canadian violinist Daniel Temnik is regarded as one of Canada’s leading musical artists and educators, celebrated for his radiant tone, commanding technique, and profound musicality. As both a soloist and chamber musician, he has performed across North America, Europe, and Asia, appearing in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Koerner Hall, and the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center.

A recipient of numerous international awards and diplomas, Temnik has distinguished himself in competitions including the Canadian Music Competition, Paganini International Violin Competition, and the Schoenfeld International String Competition. His contributions to the arts have been further recognized with the John Montague Memorial Grant and the Benjamin Steinberg Music Legacy Award. Temnik has collaborated with esteemed Canadian orchestras, including the Toronto Sinfonietta, York Symphony Orchestra, Kindred Spirits Orchestra, and the Royal Conservatory Orchestra. A dedicated mentor, he has given masterclasses worldwide and worked closely with renowned artists such as Pinchas Zukerman, Miriam Fried, Yefim Bronfman, and Valery Gergiev.

Beyond the stage, Daniel Temnik is deeply committed to music education and outreach. He has adjudicated major competitions, coached young musicians through initiatives like the Canada Youth Chamber Orchestra, and served on juries alongside distinguished figures such as Toronto Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Jonathan Crow and renowned Canadian pianist James Anagnoson. His collaborations with organizations including Entertainment One, New Classical 96.3 FM, and The Azrieli Foundation further extend his impact and strengthen community engagement.
