As part of our ARTreach programming, FEST FORWARD is aimed at moving NB musicians forward by providing useful professional development opportunities as they embark on their music careers. The goal of FEST FORWARD is to foster connectivity and creativity for participating musicians and to provide an experience that will accelerate their growth and development as artists. Musicians work with seasoned veterans of the music industry via practical and skill-building workshops and participate in a professional photoshoot and recording session.
On December 20, 2024, Fredericton will be aglow with the serene and festive ambiance of “Candlelight: Christmas Classics,” an evening dedicated to cherished holiday music performed by talented local classical musicians. Set in an intimate, candlelit atmosphere, this event invites guests to revel in timeless Christmas melodies, from “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night” to “The Nutcracker Suite” and other seasonal favourites, creating an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia perfect for the holiday season.
This immersive musical experience celebrates the beauty and tradition of Christmas music with arrangements that highlight the elegance of classical instrumentation. Each piece will be performed with the artistry and emotion fitting of this beloved time of year, making it an ideal event for family gatherings, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy the festive spirit in a unique, enchanting setting.
The Elm City String Quartet opens their season with string quartets that span three centuries – Haydn’s famous “Emperor” Quartet, Pulitzer-winning composer Caroline Shaw’s “Plan & Elevation,” and Smetana’s autobiographical quartet “From My Life.”
We’re back for ECSQ Season 3!
The ECSQ starts their season with their favourite concert formula; something old, something new, and a tune to sing on the way home. The concert kicks off with “The Emperor” string quartet by Haydn, the formative master of the quartet genre. The piece is a favourite classic, and a great way to refresh our quartet sound after a summer break. We continue with “Plan & Elevation” by Pulitzer Award winning composer Caroline Shaw, who is one of top movers and shakers in the modern quartet writing scene. We close the concert with Bedřich Smetana’s Quartet 1, “From my Life,” a musical memoir written while the composer’s hearing was rapidly deteriorating.
Nous sommes de retour pour la troisième saison de l’ECSQ !
L’ECSQ commence sa saison avec leur formule de concert préférée: quelque chose vieux, quelque chose de nouveau, et un refrain à chanter en rentrant à la maison. Le concert commence avec le quatuor à cordes “L’Empereur” de Haydn, le maître fondateur du genre du quatuor. L’œuvre est un classique favori et un excellent moyen de rafraîchir notre son de quatuor après les vacances d’été. Nous continuons avec “Plan & Elevation” de la compositrice Caroline Shaw, lauréate du prix Pulitzer, qui est l’un des pionniers de l’écriture moderne pour quatuor. Nous concluons le concert avec le premier quatuor de Bedřich Smetana, “From my Life”, un mémoire musical écrit alors que l’ouïe du compositeur se détériorait rapidement.
