The Lafayette\u00a0has achieved more than 30 years as an ensemble \u2013 without a single change of personnel. Coaching with major quartets followed by important awards led to an enduring career. The LSQ have been artists-in-residence at the University of Victoria since 1991.<\/p>\n
The Saguenay\u00a0(formed in 1989 as the Alcan) has developed a reputation for excellence throughout Canada and internationally since its formation over twenty five years ago. Based in Chicoutimi, Qu\u00e9bec, it receives the unconditional support of the Orchestre symphonique du Saguenay\u2014Lac-Saint-Jean.<\/p>\n
The two quartets have played together numerous times during the course of their quartet careers and have a special musical bond and creative friendship.<\/p>\n
