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.
