Rachel
Gauk

Several important debuts in recent seasons have confirmed Ms. Gauk's arrival on the international music scene. She performed Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, presented a solo recital at the National Arts Center in Ottawa, and performed two concerti with the New World Chamber Orchestra in Mexico City.

As an orchestral soloist, her appearances have been uniformly successful, such as her concerts with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the Kingston Symphony Orchestra, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra.

Rachel's particular affinity for the contemporary voice of the guitar continues to generate many performances and world premieres, including the Montage Concerto by Omar Daniel, in the Canadian Contemporary Music Workshop, and the challenging Concerto by Harry Somers, with the Kitchener Waterloo Symphony under the direction of Agnes Grossman.
