November 4, 2024 7:30pmJoin us for an evening of electrifying repertoire featuring the Stenhammar Quartet, one of Scandinavia’s leading string quartets.
The quartet has done it all—travelled the globe, crafted numerous acclaimed recordings, and premiered works by leading international composers.
For their GroundSwell Winnipeg concert, the group will present powerful compositions by internationally celebrated Inuk artist Tanya Tagaq, Cree-Mennonite composer Cris Derksen, and Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Caroline Shaw.
They will also give world premiere performances of two brand new pieces for string quartet and electronics: Sketches of Shifting Landscapes by Swedish-Canadian composer Örjan Sandred and Sleight of Hand by Winnipeg composer Gordon Fitzell.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can, how-you-can

Stenhammar will also be presenting a concert with Virtuosi Concerts on November 3rd featuring string quartets by Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983), Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884) &
Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871-1927). For more information visit virtuosiconcerts.ca
