ECSQ: Quartet by Candlelight (Saint John) 🎻

December 14 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Our sell-out favourite is back by popular demand! Come take a pause from the busy holiday festivities with a relaxing musical evening by candlelight. We’ll be turning down the lights, lighting some candles, and playing heart-warming seasonal music. Perfect for the whole family.  In the spirit of the season, $5 from every ticket sold will be donated to the local United Way.

December 14th, 7:30PM | Saint John | Saint John Arts Centre

Tickets: $30 Adult | $25 Senior | $20 Student

Established in 2019, the Elm City String Quartet was brought together by their passion for chamber music and a desire to share their love of quartet repertoire with their home town of Fredericton. With Victor Vivas and Mercedes Salazar on violin, Mark Kleyn on viola, and Emily Kennedy on cello, the ECSQ’s exciting and broad programming pairs works by today’s composers alongside celebrated quartet classics. Their first performance was a memorable evening in a small art gallery that was so packed, there were children sitting on the floor between their music stands. Since then, the quartet has been captivating New Brunswick communities with their broad programming and charismatic playing.

ECSQ Play Haydn, Shaw & Smetana (Florenceville-Bristol) 🎻

October 27 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

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.

Tickets can be reserved & purchased by contacting Peter McLaughlin at Second Wind Music Centre: secondwindmusiccentre@gmail.com

Elm City String Quartet

The ECSQ Play Mendelssohn, Piazzolla, and Pärt 🎻

March 14 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

The Elm City String Quartet continues its season with a contrast of minimalism, romanticism and tango. Piazzolla’s Tango Ballet, an excellent example of nuevo tango, is a programmatic suite, and featuring six “film scenes”: introduction, the street, encounter / forgetfulness, cabaret, solitude, and the street again.

Elm City String Quartet

Arvo Pärt’s Summa is inspired by Medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony, and was originally composed as an a cappella vocal work for four singers. Mendelssohn’s Quartet Four is full of virtuosic passion, charming dance movements, and intimate romantic lyricism. While these pieces are from different ends of a musical spectrum, they all manage to get to the heart of what music is all about, in their own way.
