The New Orford String Quartet will perform on the SDU Stage in the Dr. Steel Recital Hall on November 1, 2024, at 7:30 pm. Comprised of 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.”

This is a rare opportunity for Island audiences to hear a truly world-class string quartet. The program will feature Mozart's emotionally intense Quartet in D minor; 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.

Accessible parking is available, and the theatre has an accessible entrance via elevator.
