Called the “Yo-Yo Ma of the harp” (Vogue), harpist Bridget Kibbey \u201cmakes it seems as though the instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the energetic figures and gorgeous colors she was getting from it\u201d (The New York Times).

The New York City-based Calidore String Quartet are renowned for their \u201cdeep reserves of virtuosity and irrepressible dramatic instinct\u201d (The New York Times). The Calidore is recognized as one of the world\u2019s foremost interpreters of a vast repertory, from the cycles of quartets by Beethoven and Mendelssohn to works of celebrated contemporary voices like Gy\u00f6rgy Kurt\u00e1g, J\u00f6rg Widmann, and Caroline Shaw.<\/p>\n
Executive Director of Performing Arts for The Royal Conservatory, Mervon Mehta\u2019s career in the arts has seen him on both sides of the curtain.

He has performed as a narrator of orchestral works in Munich, Monte Carlo, Los Angeles, Ottawa, Chicago, Houston, Budapest, and Lisbon; and at the Festival de Radio France and the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, Italy, under the batons of Christoph Eschenbach, Lawrence Foster, and Zubin Mehta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
