Event Series Event Series: Elm City Quartet: Season Opener đŸŽ»

ECSQ Play Haydn, Shaw & Smetana (Saint John) đŸŽ»

October 17, 2024 @ 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 Bedƙich 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 troisiùme saison de l’ECSQ !

L’ECSQ commence sa saison avec leur formule de concert prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©e: quelque chose vieux, quelque chose de nouveau, et un refrain Ă  chanter en rentrant Ă  la maison. Le concert commence avec le quatuor Ă  cordes “L’Empereur” de Haydn, le maĂźtre fondateur du genre du quatuor. L’Ɠuvre est un classique favori et un excellent moyen de rafraĂźchir notre son de quatuor aprĂšs les vacances d’étĂ©. Nous continuons avec “Plan & Elevation” de la compositrice Caroline Shaw, laurĂ©ate du prix Pulitzer, qui est l’un des pionniers de l’écriture moderne pour quatuor. Nous concluons le concert avec le premier quatuor de Bedƙich Smetana, “From my Life”, un mĂ©moire musical Ă©crit alors que l’ouĂŻe du compositeur se dĂ©tĂ©riorait rapidement.
