Enescu to the Rescue

Inspired by the 2023 “Moving Mahler” event that brought Alberta’s orchestras together, the Garneau String Quartet welcomes a brilliant team of musicians from the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. We are thrilled to present the incredibly inspired Octet of George Enescu (composed when he was just 19) with a wonderful ensemble including Diana Cohen, Maria van der Sloot (violins), Jesse Morrison (viola), and Arnold Choi (cello). The Mendelssohn String Quartet Op. 44 No. 1 is known as one of the most virtuosic quartets of the literature – sparkling and effervescent, this piece is sure to get you bouncing in your seat.

The Garneau String Quartet 2024/25 Concert Series is an intimate and immersive series featuring guest artists such as Angela Cheng, CBC’s Tom Allen, Lori Gemmel, Steve Dann, Cameron Crozman, and members of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. The quartet is comprised of members of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra: violinists Robert Uchida and Laura Veeze, violist Keith Hamm, and cellist Julie Hereish.
