The Elm City String Quartet (ECSQ) starts off the new year with some fresh and rocking string quartets on Friday, February 2 from 7:30 – 9:30pm, taking place at the Wilmot United Church.

The evening begins with "2 Pop Songs on Antique Poems" by Dinuk Wijeratne, winner of the 2016 JUNO for classical composition of the year, is a collision of old and new. Next up is Gabriella Smith’s captivating work, Carrot Revolution, a piece with flowing fiddle-inspired melodies and crunchy (perhaps like a carrot?) rhythms and percussion.

The final piece of the concert, Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, is an absolute favourite in the repertoire. Power, beauty and storytelling are woven with beautifully seamless structure.

Tickets: $20 General, $15 Senior, $10 Student
