Event Description
Winners of the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022, the New York City-based Isidore String Quartet was formed in 2019 with a vision to revisit, rediscover, and reinvigorate the repertory. The quartet is heavily influenced by the Juilliard String Quartet and the idea of ‘approaching the established as if it were brand new, and the new as if it were firmly established.’
Their August 2 debut with the Victoria Summer Music Festival will include:
J.S. Bach Contrapunctus 1-4 from Art of the Fugue
Aidia Shirazi "Umbra” (written 2017)
Dinuk Wijeratne The Disappearance of Lisa Gherardini (written 2022)
B. Britten Quartet No. 2 in C Major, Op. 36
