The Cecilia String Quartet presents a Toronto Summer Music recital on Wednesday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The final week of this year’s Toronto Summer Music Festival continues its pan-European chamber music journey. Three concerts in particular promise some exceptional musicmaking.<\/p>\n

Canada’s Cecilia String Quartet teams up with young pianist Georgy Tchaidze, winner of the 2009 Honens International Piano Competition, in a celebration of oxblood wine-infused music at Walter Hall on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

The Cecilias released a wonderful all-Dvor\u00e1k album<\/a> earlier this year. “Violinists Min-Jeong Koh and Sarah Nematallah, violist Caitlin Boyle and cellist Rachel Desoer achieve that magical balance of poise and passion, dynamic adventure and internal balance,” I wrote about the results, which were recorded at Koerner Hall.<\/p>\n

They present Dvor\u00e1k’s sweet Cypresses<\/em> alongside Leos Jan\u00e1cek’s String Quartet No. 1<\/em>, the one inspired by The Kreutzer Sonata<\/em>, a novella by Leo Tolstoy that was, in turn, inspired by Beethoven’s work for violin and piano.

It’s a programme of emotions earnestly laid out on sleeves, performed by up-and-comers who have become known for their engaging interpretations. The Cecilias and Tchaidze have played together before:<\/p>\n
