The New Orford String Quartet in concert
The UPEI Department of Music is thrilled to present the New Orford String Quartet in concert. Comprised of four elite orchestral leaders and soloists–-Andrew Wan, Jonathan Crow, Sharon Wei, and Brian Manker--the quartet has been described by the Toronto Star as “nothing short of electrifying.”
The quartet's program at UPEI will feature Mozart's emotionally intense Quartet in D minor, showcasing the composer's intricate mastery. Experience the PEI premiere of Métis composer Ian Cusson's Yume (Dreams), inspired by Akira Kurosawa's film of the same name, and Franz Schubert's Death and the Maiden, a masterpiece of haunting melodies and vigorous intensity, offering a rich journey through the emotional and stylistic landscapes of string quartet literature.
This concert--a rare opportunity for Island audiences to hear a truly world-class string quartet--will take place on Friday, November 1, at 7:30 pm on the SDU Stage in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall. Accessible parking is available, and the theatre has an accessible entrance via elevator.
