Musical refinement, elegance and subtlety are at the forefront of this concert by the Molinari Quartet. You will hear the premiere of Brian Cherney's 7th string quartet, Four Quarters by Thomas Adès and Benjamin Britten's Quartet no.2.
In preparation to the concert Transparency of February 17 at the Conservatoire, the musicians of the Molinari Quartet invite you to come and dialogue with them on the works to be heard during that concert. During this free workshop, the musicians and composer Brian Cherney will discuss the works, play excerpts and analyse the quartets to enable the public to have a better listening experience and understanding of the works. They will also answer questions regarding the quartets, instrumental practice and the work of musicians.
The Molinari Quartet pursues its collaboration with the Compagnie de danse Virginie Brunelle in the spectacular show "Les corps avalés".
The dancers and musicians will perform at the Pratt & Whitney Canada hall in Longueuil for this show presented by Théâtre de la Ville.
Critics are unanimous to underline the emotion and virtuosity of the dancers and the moving choreography by Virginie Brunelle sustained by the live music of the Molinari Quartet.
The Molinari plays works by Philip Glass, Henryk Górecki, Dimitri Shostakovich and Samuel Barber among others.
