Aurora Cultural Centre presents New Orford String Quartet (CLASSICAL)

March 7, 2025 - 7:00PM
Great Artist Music Series
Four Canadian musicians with equally stellar pedigrees come together to form the JUNO Award-winning New Orford String Quartet. Toronto Symphony and Montreal Symphony concertmasters Andrew Wan and Jonathan Crow will be joined by Montreal Symphony’s principal cellist Brian Manker and the dynamic violist Sharon Wei. Together, they bring passion, freshness and joy to each performance.
The program will include Schubert’s powerful ‘Death and the Maiden’ quartet, as well as a new piece commissioned by the Quartet from the esteemed Canadian composer Ian Cusson. Of Métis (Georgian Bay Métis Community) and French-Canadian descent, Cusson’s work explores the Canadian Indigenous experience and intersection of Western and Indigenous cultures.
“These four string virtuosos animate every note with uncommon power and passion as well as elegance... nothing short of electrifying” -The Toronto Star.
Pre-concert talk begins at 7 pm.
