We hate to end our Performance Series season but at least we get the pleasure of welcoming The Sitka String Quartet (SSQ) to the Miners Hall stage!
The Sitka String Quartet was formed by friends
and colleagues in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO).
After years of playing together in the larger ensemble,
and sharing numerous concerts as chamber musicians within
the VSO Chamber Players, it was a natural extension of their
like-minded musical curiosity, open-heartedness, and a fearless
willingness to explore quartet repertoire across many genres
that propelled these four musicians to form a professional quartet.
They have enjoyed shared and individual performances in
Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, Poland, Austria,
Japan, China, Korea, Iraq, Lebanon, and Australia!
As chamber musicians, members of the SSQ have worked or trained with the Guarnari String Quartet, Tokyo String Quartet, Takacs Quartet, St Lawrence Quartet, James Campbell, Pinchas Zuckerman, Menahem Pressler, Karen Tuttle, Alina Ibragimova, and Lorand Fenyves.
We are honoured to host violinists
Cassandra Bequary and Karen Gerbrecht,
violist Emilie Grimes,
and cellist Olivia Blander as:
Sitka String Quartet!
