Culture at Riverwood: Peter Eom

Culture at Riverwood is back this summer with a slate of free concerts set to the beautiful backdrop of the MacEwan Terrace Garden!

Performers will play inside the MacEwan Barn. Concertgoers are able to take in each show from just outside the Barn. Please bring your own chair as seating will not be provided.

All shows are free to attend, and registration is not required, but please consider making donations to The Riverwood Conservancy, Visual Arts Mississauga, and the Chamber Music Society of Mississauga so we can continue to provide these accessible concerts for years to come.

About the Performer

Hailed for his “flowing, lyrical quality of sound” and “agility, purity of intonation, and sureness of taste” (Süddeutsche Zeitung), cellist Peter Eom (pronounced “aw-m”) has performed as soloist across North America, Asia, and Europe with orchestras including the National Symphony Orchestra, Denver Philharmonic, Phoenix Symphony, and MusicaNova Orchestra. He is also the cellist of the Rolston String Quartet, first prize winner of the 12th Banff International String Quartet Competition, and the genre-defying Toronto ensemble The Happenstancers. He has taught at institutions including Yale, Duke, and the Royal Conservatory in Toronto, and holds degrees from Colburn Conservatory, Northwestern University, and the Royal Conservatory in Toronto.
