SUMMARY:Cecilia String Quartet - Celebrated Canadian Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:With a successful European tour followed by a 2016 Juno nomination for its highly acclaimed Mendelssohn recordings\, Cecilia String Quartet continues to win deserving praise. The Toronto-based\, internationally acclaimed quartet formed in 2004\, and is currently ensemble-in-residence at the U of T Faculty of Music. \nThe quartet has been hailed for “powerful” (Chicago Sun-Times) and “dauntingly perfect” (Berliner Zeitung) performances. Multiple prize-winners including Osaka (2008)\, Bordeaux and Banff (2010)\, past engagements have included performances at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw\, Berlin Konzerthaus\, London Wigmore Hall\, and venues in Italy\, Switzerland\, Belgium\, and Norway. \nThe ensemble will open our season with a Haydn Russian quartet\, Op. 33\, No. 1 in B minor plus the sublime Quartet in D Major\, Op. 44\, No. 1 by Mendelssohn\, and more. \n“The Cecilia capture the innocent quality…subtly reacting as Mendelssohn’s harmonic language darkens…they combine energy with finely pointed details. A terrific achievement.” Gramophone \n“We heard an almost unimaginable level of articulation\, communication\, timbres\, clarity of structure and\, again and again\, a deep musical rhetoric second to none.” Bremen Kreiszeitung

SUMMARY:Ensemble MidtVest - Canadian Debut
DESCRIPTION:Coming to us from Denmark – young\, ambitious\, dedicated\, and making their Canadian debut. Founded in 2002\, Ensemble MidtVest consists of a string quartet\, a wind quintet\, and a pianist! \nThe Ensemble is renowned for creative programming and pushing the boundaries of traditional classical concert form. These eleven players are European classically trained musicians\, all of whom specialize in chamber music. Together they form and reform into dynamic ensembles with the ability to play at highest levels a wide range of music. They made their Carnegie Hall debut in 2012. \nThey hold their own an annual chamber music festival at the manor Nørre Vosborg on the Danish West coast. \nTheir 2006 recording of piano quartets by Mozart and Brahms was awarded best chamber music CD by listeners of the Danish Broadcasting Company.

Rechtmann\, Poulenc’s Sonata for Flute and Piano\, FP164\, Nielsen’s Fantasy Pieces for oboe & piano\, Op. 2\, and more. \n“…you felt as though you’d been on a journey that transformed the material even as you revisited it…in conjunction with the ensemble’s eloquent pianist\, Martin Qvist Hansen\, the cellist\, Jonathan Slaatto\, dominated the sound…plucking at the very top of the fingerboard for a brilliantly muted\, curt effect…the group played with a modesty\, even a reticence\, that would\, periodically\, suddenly and beautifully explode.” – New York Times 2014 \nPurchase Single Tickets

SUMMARY:London Haydn Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Considered by many to be supreme\, England’s London Haydn Quartet was born out of a passion for the composer. Formed in 2001\, they strive to emulate pure 19th Century sound through their use of gut strings and classical bows. Adding to their uniqueness\, they collaborate regularly with clarinetist Eric Hoeprich with whom they recorded the Brahms and Mozart quintets on the Glossa label. As a quintet\, they have performed at the Concertgebouw\, the Library of Congress\, Yale University as well as appearances in Switzerland\, France\, Germany and Czech Republic. \nAmerican Eric Hoeprich has specialized in performing on historical clarinets. He has performed as a soloist with early music conductors such as Sir Roger Norrington and Christopher Hogwood. \n“The musicians imbued both works with myriad details of shading and contrast\, and beautifully calibrated phrasing.” – New York Times \n“Gut strings sometimes mean sour intonation\, but not with this superb British group…they explore…repertoire with a light touch and kaleidoscopic colours…crammed with subtle pleasures.” – CD Review\, The Times \nThey will perform three wondrous gems from the chamber music repertoire: Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A Major\, K. 581\, Op. 108\, Haydn’s String Quartet in Bb Major\, Op. 50\, No.1\, and Beethoven’s String Quartet in D Major\, Op. 18\, No. 3. \nPurchase Single Tickets

SUMMARY:Calmus Ensemble - European Vocal Quintet
DESCRIPTION:A perfect blend of sound\, precision\, lightness and wit\, the Calmus Ensemble has forged a refined sound which few a cappella groups achieve. These five Leipzig musicians have won a string of international prizes and competitions\, including the ECHO Klassik and Supersonic Award. In 2010\, they made their Carnegie Hall debut and their 2014 recording was named a top 10 CD by the New York Times. Naturally at home in the vocal music of the Renaissance\, Baroque and Romantic periods\, they also explore modern repertoire. \nWe’re thrilled to be a formative part of their 2015 recording project “Christmas Carols of the World”\, which will shine a spotlight on these timeless and classical creations. Some are sacred\, some are secular\, and some even humorous and entertaining – all woven in the theme of a popular holiday tradition. \nBe additionally dazzled by selected works from their 16 other CD’s. This is their Canadian debut. \n“Calmus Ensemble is stunning in its vocal variety\, mastery. The group held the audience…spellbound with its artistry.” “…in matters of pitch\, diction and musical shaping\, I’ve never heard finer ensemble singing.” – The Washington Post \nPurchase Single Tickets
