SUMMARY:Ottawa Chamberfest | Introducing Isidore String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Winners of the 2022 Banff International String Quartet Competition and a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant\, the American ensemble combines old and new with a varied program stretching from Beethoven and Bach to Aida Shirazi and a piece by Ottawa’s own Dinuk Wijeratne\, The Disappearance of Lisa Gherardini. Affectionately called “The Heist”\, the young quartet’s rambunctious performance of the commissioned work about the theft of the Mona Lisa won them their career-launching award\, with tours of North America and Europe starting shortly after. In contrast to the high octane “Heist”\, contemporary Iranian composer Aida Shirazi’s piece Umbra is a “process\, in which musical events unfold glacially\, reveal[ing] and express[ing] itself with reservedness.” Don’t miss their Ottawa debut where the Isidores are set to engage and inspire “through the art of collaboration and play\,” using “the vital tradition of the string quartet [as their] playground.”

SUMMARY:Toronto Summer Music | Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Frautschi\, violin\nKelly Hall-Tompkins\, violin\nBarry Shiffman\, viola\nMatthew Zalkind\, cello\nPhilip Chiu\, piano \nGabriela Lena Frank: Four Folk Songs\nIman Habibi: Relics\nJerry Bock: “If I Were a Rich Man” from Fiddler on the Roof (arr. Kelly Hall-Tompkins)\nJerry Bock: “Fiddler Rhapsody and Scherzo” from Fiddler on the Roof (arr. Oran Eldor)\nDvořák: Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major\, Op. 87\, B. 162 \nMusic that celebrates a variety of traditions – from central Europe to Iran\, from the concert hall to the stage of a Broadway theatre – makes up this exhilarating program. Like so much music by nineteenth-century Czech composer Dvořák\, this profound chamber work echoes with the traditional songs and dances of his native land. Many others have followed in his footsteps. Two recent examples contribute to this concert: Gabriela Lena Frank with her Folk Songs\, patterned on the melodies of her mother’s home country\, Peru\, and Iranian Canadian composer Iman Habibi\, whose talents have earned him numerous commissions from such major-league ensembles such as the Boston and Toronto Symphony Orchestras. His composition\, Relics\, is a theme and variations. The theme is original. “Each of the following variations\, each relic\,” he says\, “explores a distant memory of my childhood.” The concert is rounded out by familiar selections from the classic 1960s musical Fiddler on the Roof including the famous “If I were a Rich Man” performed and arranged by none other than Kelly Hall-Tompkins\, known equally for her Broadway performances of the famous tune and her illustrious career as soloist and chamber musician.
