The Isabel Quartet starts off the 2023/24 season with two of chamber music’s most popular works: Mozart’s String Quartet nicknamed The Hunt, and Schumann’s highly virtuosic and expressive Piano Quintet, performed with Queen’s faculty member, Younggun Kim. Indigenous Canadian composer and cellist Cris Derksen’s single-movement 2018 quartet, White Mans Cattle, rounds out the program.
This concert will mark the Isabel Quartet’s first official performance with Katya Poplyansky as the permanent first violinist with the group. Katya, as invited guest, played with the Isabel Quartet’s for their final concert last season and is also the Kingston Symphony’s concertmaster. The quartet looks forward to a future of new and exciting projects with Katya joining violinist, Julia McFarlane, violist, Caitlin Boyle and cellist, Wolf Tormann.
Program:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, String Quartet No. 17 in B-flat major, The Hunt
Cris Derksen, White Mans Cattle
