He performs regularly throughout Toronto, participating in festivals, masterclasses, fundraiser's and workshops.  He has gained recognition at local competitions throughout the country, winning  prizes and scholarships.

 

Most recent highlights include being selected to perform at the 2023 *Sold-Out TSMF (Toronto Summer Music Festival) Finale-Gala Concert at the University of Toronto, and as well,  placing 2nd (representing Toronto) at the OMFA Provincials in Niagra, Canada (Ontario Music Festivals Association). He is currently preparing new repertoire for The Canadian Contemporary ShowCase held each year at the RCMusic.

 

In 2003, Fabian was invited to perform in a set of Monster Concerts, thru "Toyich International Projects" *Inaugural  Monster Concert Series, (20 pianists/10 pianos). This was an incredible collaboration,  performing in Roma, at Piazza Risorgimento beside the Vatican and at Castel Sant'Angelo, and as well at venues across Toronto. Under his then teacher, *Boyanna Toyich (at the RCM), Fabian studied and prepared Richard Addinsell's "Warsaw  Concerto" in D minor,  which was followed by his orchestral debut with *Philanthropist & Maestro, Robert Raines,  in both Toronto and as well on the International Stage in Miami Beach.  During that time, Fabian became a regular soloist  in  the Romantic Evening Yorkville Concert Series in Toronto (at the Church of the Redeemer) in the early 2000's, and was often invited to perform selections from Mozarts piano concertos, including the famous *Elvira Madigan.

 

Along side his passion for performing, Fabian works as a pedagogue and piano coach, having served on faculty at a number of community music schools throughout Toronto,  University Settlement, Toronto Arts Academy, and currently teaching at *Dixon Hall Music School in Regent Park, Toronto, while maintaining  his own private piano studio downtown at Yonge & Bloor, Toronto. Fabian serves as an Advisory Council Member at the *Avenue Road Music and Performance Academy in Toronto (a registered music charity, featuring the intimate Gordon Lightfoot Concert Hall).  He holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Acadia University and a Double B.A. in Early ChildHood Music Education from Wilfrid Laurier University. He has also completed advanced piano and theory studies at both the Western and Royal Conservatories of Music. While at Acadia he participated in MasterClasses with Jon Kimara Parker, Janina Fialkowska, Walter Delahunt, Robert Silverman, Kendall Taylor, Richard Goode, Angela Hewitt, among  many others.  During his time at Acadia (1993-1997), the newly formed *Piano Six was on tour, providing Masterclasses that would not normally be visited by international-calibre musicians such as Janina Fialkowska and Angela Hewitt. Upon completion of his studies at Acadia, Fabian continued his studies in Paris under *Jean Martin, all while obtaining a *CELTA Certificate in Paris, to teach English as a 2nd Language through Cambridge University.  Upon completion of his studies with Jean Martin in Paris, Fabian moved to Toronto where he began studies &  master classes under Boyanna Toyich at the Royal Conservatory of Music.

​

Fabian owes much of his success to several outstanding teachers, including Matt Hughes & John Hansen from Acadia University, Dorion Carmichael from WLU,  Boyanna Toyich at the Royal Conservatory of Music, and most recently over the past number of years in Toronto with Micheal Berkovsky, Alexander Panizza, Lynda Metelsky & the renowned, Lawrence Pitchko.
