SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20th - In Concert with the Canadian Guitar Quartet | Our First Concert of the 2018-2019 includes the incredible Canadian Guitar Quartet.Since its debut in 1999, the Canadian Guitar Quartet has toured extensively in North and South America, from one standing ovation to the next, establishing a reputation as one of the finest guitar ensembles in the world. They return to the Kootenays to play some original music that shows why audiences around the country enjoy their work so much. Concerto Tradicionuevo, by Patrick Roux is a Tango inspired feast for guitars and orchestra, and CGQ member Louis Trépanier’s La Madeleine du Saint-Laurent features timeless Canadian folk melodies. The fine musicians of the SOTK are featured in the timeless Concerto for Violin and Cello by Antonio Vivaldi. We round out the program with Postcards from the Sky by Marjan Mozetich. A hidden gem, this heartfelt music has very quickly become one of the most popular pieces ever written by a Canadian composer.* Hosted by Symphony of the Kootenays
